I work for a language school and they gave me a non imm b visa. Is that the same visa that I would get working for a government school?

I'm just wondering if it's possible to work for a language school and government school at the same time. I suppose I just need to have both schools listed on my work permit.

So I'm working part time for a language school and have a valid work permit. Now I'm thinking about taking an additional job at a secondary school and the agent told me that I need to process the visa/work permit under his school's name.

Does that mean I have to get a new work permit? I'm not leaving the language school so I'm not cancelling the work permit that I have. Any thoughts on how to handle this?

Which one is better?

I've been working for a language school for sometime but the evening and weekend work hours are killing me.

The salary seems to be about the same. But a secondary school I'm assuming has longer paid holidays. Does anyone know how many days?

Not sure if I can do a poll here but I'd like to know your opinion.

If you are on good terms with your school, they can do this by working together with the new school. However, in normal times, there are often problems. Timing is very important, you only have 7 days.

 

They might not work together too well. They are competitors. 

Reading Ubonjoe's comment I was under the impression that I only need a termination letter from the old school. 

Can my old school sabotage the process in any way?

Seems like a routine procedure. Any reports of people running into trouble along the way?

So I'm working for a language school and an opportunity just came up to move to different school for a better salary.

Question: If I go for it, how much of a nightmare will it be to navigate through the immigration bureaucracy?

Part of me thinks I should stay where I am until the covid situation is resolved but if the process can go smoothly maybe I shouldn't wait.

Thanks in advance!

Seven days if you apply for an extension, pay 1900 baht and get 7 days to leave the country after it is denied.

Ok, thanks. So if I want to find another job I might need to leave the country and come back on a tourist visa.

And when I find the new job I'll have to leave again and apply for the work visa. Nice.

At this time you could stay in the country until July 31st under the amnesty.

Thanks. And if I quit my job after the amnesty?

I only left one company to work at the next between '98-'99.  The companies both had personnel to handle all that business

Hi, that's the situation that I'm wondering about. How long were you able to stay in the country between jobs? Or did you need to have the next job lined up before you quit the first one? Thanks in advance!

That day if you go to immigration with a termination letter to cancel it.

Yes, this is precisely my question. Am I required to leave the country on my last working day?

I'm just wondering how much time I can stay in the country after I stop working.

If my goal is to find a new job, what course of action would you recommend?

The same day the extension is canceled

Thanks for the reply.

So if my last day at the company was May 31st, when would the extension be canceled?

If I enrolled in a formal school immediately I suppose this could give me time to find another job.

Your work permit and extension of stay will both end when you job ends.

Hi, after the termination of employment how long does one have to leave the country?

I'm just wondering about the options available if that were to happen.

I suppose one could find another job or apply for an ed visa without having to leave the country.

Thanks for the info. 

My question is really about their requirments for additional certifications beyond the Bachelor degree.

Should I be concerned if I don't provide TEFL or TOEIC certifications?

Their website is a little vague in this regard.

People get questioned after 6 VE, actually less in some cases, these can be spread out over 2 or so years

Getting questioned is not a big deal.

Do you know anybody who was denied entry?

I'm applying for the Non B in Laos later this month and I've been getting lots of conflicting info about the minimum requirements.

I'd appreciate it if anybody who applied there could post the documents that they submitted.

I plan to take with me the original bachelor diploma and the documents provided by the company that I work for.

Aside from this is anything else needed? Are there any requirements for additional certifications (TEFL, TOEIC, etc)?

Thanks in advance!

"They just kept on about the new rule and i had to get a proper visa."

What new rule?

I'm just wondering why they denied you entry. You were not given any reasons?

I'm in Phnom Penh planning to go back to Bangkok in the next few days and I was wondering which border crossing would you recommend.

I was planning to take the direct bus, crossing through Poipet but I just saw other threads about the Koh Kong crossing.

It took me about 4 hours to cross through Poipet on my way here. Is the Koh Kong crossing any less crowded?

I'm basically just wondering which border crossing would get me to Bangkok faster.

Thanks in advance.

Crackdown seems to be on people abusing the in-out visa exempt stamps

I think you are right based on what I keep hearing.

But what is the time frame being talked about here? Is it leaving Thailand and coming back on the same day?

If someone leaves, goes to another country and comes back two weeks later is that considered in-out?

last week I was refused entry at Don Mueang by a female officer for having in her opinion too many Thai stamps in my passport.

It'd be appreciated if you could provide more details about what happened.

Were you denied entry? Did you have to fly out of the country to apply for a visa?

Thanks in advance.

The OP has a Brazilian Passport. Because Thailand and Brazil have a Bi-Lateral agreement the OP is entitled to a 90 day visa exempt entry which is NOT extendable.

Yes, that's my understanding as well.

I know that I'll have to leave Thailand at the end of the 90 days. I just wasn't sure if I needed to apply for a visa outside the country or if I would be granted another 90 day visa exemption upon my return.

I read that visa exemptions are not granted at the land borders, so I figured that I'd just fly to Indonesia for a few weeks and then come back.

Thanks.

I was only asking because I just read at the website bellow that visa exemption is limited to 90 days per calendar year. Thus my confusion.

Thanks again.

Yes, it was my first visa exempt entry. To be clear, I've only been in Thailand for a total of about 60 days this year.

Are you saying that if I leave Thailand and come back a few weeks later, I will get another 90 day visa exemption at the airport?

Hi, I have a Brazilian passport and was granted a 90 day visa exemption stamp upon my arrival in Thailand 2 months ago.

I would like to extend my stay beyond 90 days and there seems to be a lot of conflicting information about the steps that I need to take.

Question:

If I go to Indonesia at the end of the 90 days and spend a few weeks there, what do I need to do to get back into Thailand? Should I apply for a visa over there or will I be granted another 90 exemption upon my arrival in Thailand? Any easier/cheaper ways to extend my stay without having to travel to Indonesia for a few weeks? Is Cambodia a better option?

Thanks in advance.
