Work Permit expiration and extension of stay


Recommended Posts

My contract with a Thai company will finish at the end of the month and I will be going to Jomthiem Immigration with evidence that my work permit has been returned to the Labor department. I am tentatively planning to apply for a retirement 'extension' (I now realize it is an 'extension' and not a visa) and bring a letter from the American Embassy guaranteeing that I have sufficient funds as stipulated by Thai Immigration. Should I decide not to apply for the retirement visa I am wondering what kind of extension of stay I would be eligible for. I have read on these pages that I might be able to get a 7-day extension. And then, since I am legally married to a Thai, I could get a 60-day extension (or visa?)

Yes, you could get a 60 day extension (if you didn't get one 60 day extension on this entry already).

You could of course also apply for an extension of stay based on marriage, but if you qualify for retirement it might be easier to do that.
