Work Permit process not started

[KireB]

Hello, I work for one of the bigger schools on Phuket, and am near the end of my 3 month probation period. Last Thursday I found out, that the school had not even started the Temporary Teachers License with TCT (a waiver). They clearly wait till the end of probation. I will take at least another 4 weeks before the work permit can be issued.

 

Normally, I dont worry too much, but with the recent Sarasas witch hunt, I feel very uncomfortable. When asking the school, they advise me to wear plain clothes, and when Immigration visits to hide out somewhere. The school's HR, at the main campus, replies that the school has a very good relation with Immigration. So dont worry.

 

I really like this job, and dont want to lose it, but the risk of being caught still working without work permit are not appealing either.

 

Do I need to worry and run for the hills, or will Immigration accept that the licensing process, though very late, has started.

Tell them to stuff it....ridiculous. If you get caught...the school will disavow all knowledge and tell authorities you lied to them or tricked them in some way about your status.
