joker Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 HI there, Hope somebody can help on this one. I got a Non-Imm.'B' multiple entry visa back in 2000 and have been able to extend it yearly and its now valid until 2008. I also have a work permit for working in the Chonburi area. I have recently been offered a new job and would like to know the current procedure. I should state that in 2004/5 I changed jobs and that was a question of handing in my W.P., getting an M. 10 paper from the Labor office, going to Immigration, who gave me a 7 day stamp, the choice being either to leave the country or come back within the period with all the relevant papers from the current and future employer, which I of course did and got the usual 30 day extension on approval. Last time I changed from one job to the other in the same province but this time I could take on the new job in Bangkok, thus having a new labor office. On making enquiries at Immigration, they say rules have changed and that you have to have a W.P. So above scenario last time cannot be done anymore. There only suggestion was to get the new job written into the W.P. book before I left the old one, then cancel the old one, thus still retaining the W.P. The main problem however seemed to be having to use 2 different Labor offices. So, if there is no other way, do I really have to leave the country for a new visa just to change jobs?? Any advice would be really welcome, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
