Faeton Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Hello everyone. I plan to change ED visa to Non-O visa (since i have a thai son) But this visa immigration can give me for 90 days only as I can't show them 400k in account. can i join in thai company with this visa? (the company will increase its authorized capital by 2 million baht for put me inn). and so to extend the visa and get a work permit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 You cannot change non immigrant visa categories in the country. If you actually are on a extension of stay based upon attending school you can apply for a different type of extension of stay. To apply for a one year extension of stay based upon being the parent of a Thai you need 400k baht in the bank on the day you apply or proof of 40k baht income. You could apply for a 60 day extension to visit them if you have not gotten one since your last entry to the country. To change to an extension based upon working you will need a work permit application approval letter and most work permit offices will not accept the application for one if on a non-ed visa entry.

Ok, is it enough for show 400k just when apply 1 year non-o visa? Because I can get letter from my embassy that my salary is more then 40k a month. But I'm not sure they accept it. Maybe I can use some agency who put 400k to my account and then take it out? Same retirement visa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want an extension of stay on the basis of working, the minimum income varies by nationality, but is 65k baht per month for those from Western countries. An extension of stay based on being the parent of a Thai requires only an income of 40k baht per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is 50k baht per month not 65k baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
