Hello Gents,

Searched but could not find the answer. If a thread exists feel free to point me there.

Entered on Non-B for work in January 2015

Got WP.

Got 1 Year Extension of Stay based on work.

Anniversary around the corner

Assuming I continue with the same employer, what is required regarding extending/renewing WP/Visa/Extension on Stay for the following year?

If I am correct, the WP is renewed fairly painlessly, mostly my concerns are about my Visa and Extension. New Visa required from foreign embassy/consulate? Same 1 Year Extension process all over? 30 day consideration period again?

Thank you

Renew WP first then it's a repeat of the 1 year extension you did last year.

30 day under consideration then the extension is granted.

No need to leave the country or get a visa.

Must show tax payment receipt to renew WP.....make sure you have before you go.

Different experience here as compared to above 2 posters: never been asked to show a tax payment receipt when renewing my WP, and my labour office (BKK) does not allow me to apply for a WP renewal before I have received my extension of stay from immigration. Advice to OP: check with your labour and immigration offices what the exact requirements are for your situation (could be job dependent).

How can you get an extension reason for employment if that permit to be employed is about to expire. ? what date will they extend you to ? The order is backwards...they can only extend you as far as the permit allows .

I get my extensions of stay (1 year at a time) based primarily on the letter of my employer stating that I will be working for them during the year to come. I also provide a copy of my WP, but that does not need to be renewed yet. Has been like that for the past 6 years for me. I once tried to reverse the order (WP renewal first, extension of stay later), but Labour wouldn't have it: told me to come back after having managed the extension of stay, they did not even want to take my application into consideration.

As now I see it may be relevant I submit that I reside and work in Phuket.

With respect, these rules and procedures apply to the fist time the extension is applied for, not the subsequent years, correct?
