did you get your wp cancelled at the labour office?

how did that go?

Phone up / visit any immigration office, (we are talking about different provinces here btw..) and enquire about whether I can apply for a new work permit? isn't that the labour office? (trying to learn something else here) hypothetical question being : Hi, Can you check if there is anything that will stop my school from being able to apply for a work permit for me? Thanks for all your comments by the way, I feel very isolated in this situation and your replies are easing things ... slightly

I am on that side of the fence but what about my fellow teacher having problems, despite working for them 3 years ago

Good question, the answer is they had the contract and sent to WP permit people but never shared with me, the employee

TEFL jobs both..

Hi, I worked in Thailand 7 years ago I went to the work permit office once I decided to leave my school and return to UK, to try and hand them my work permit They said I needed a letter from my employer to void the WP I called my school and they said I owed THEM money. as I was on guaranteed salary scheme as my lessons were less than the minimum pay out (20 per week), for the majority of my time there They added it up and said I owed X amount of money So I just flew home and forgot about it.. They never gave me a contract so it was hard to follow resignation procedures Anyway New potential stressful problem now I am back in Thailand, and am wondering whether my new school will have a problem 7 years later issuing me a work permit. Surely this has lapsed and the work permit office will grant me another - I have heard a fellow teacher having a similar problem but was a 3 year gap not seven. I have a new passport / passport number Your thoughts please! this is really bothering me, sadly. the work permit I threw away. I am thinking a Thai lawyer could sort this if the WP application is rejected by the work permit office due to the old one still being live (despite them only having a one year life span, which confuses me enormously.) I wouldnt of worried at all unless I met the Thai person at the school who deals with this and she was saying about he other teacher having the WP problem from he same Ex school , of course
