Not Telling

I don't understand your reference to BOI - BOI stands for Board of Investment. Is this how you are referring to Immigration? BOI can issue support for WP's and Non Imm B but not changing status from Ed to Non Imm B. That is purely Immigration and by the sounds of it - somehow you have skipped a step or two in the process and have a WP which comes not on Ed Visa but Non Imm B etc. I'm confused but as already stated, have the personnel dept handle this one - Thai to Thai. I have short term stay clients working here all the time from around the world. They come in on Tourist and we have approval from a Ministry for their entry and we slot that in at Labour Dept and they get a WP on a Tourist stamp if no longer than 30 days. So all the rules that generally apply seem not to be apparent here. 
I reference to BOI, becasue I need a letter from BOI to extend my VISA and WP, and also they ask for a Non-Imm B Visa to have that letter this time. ( didn't say anything at first time when I came to the new company )
and what step I skipped in process is hard to know, because when I extended that cancelled Ed Visa in BKK, the immigration officer asked me to fill many documents. but seems no problem in 5 years. ( so maybe a cancelled Ed Visa can be re-extended in another reason)
