pattayaGaz Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I work in a language centre and my boss is getting me a work permit and is going to get a 1 year extension to my Non'O' Visa for me, the Visa was issued by the Thai Consulate in Hull England and has "Employment Prohibited " stamped at the bottom, is this a problem?

ubonjoe Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Not a problem at all. Immigration just ignores those kind of stamps or lines on visas because it means nothing to them. Some even are marked no extension and immigration will just cross it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 You can see it as a reminder that you are not allowed to work without a work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 You can see it as a reminder that you are not allowed to work without a work permit. Which is in fact what you have been doing. Chase your company along a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sriracha john Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) Just out of curiosity... how long did you work without a work permit for this company? Also, whether Imm. overlooks or ignores the "Employment Prohibited" is regionally different. Chonburi Immigration, for example, followed it to the letter and was told under no circumstances was one to work with that stamp on their passport from a, in this example, USA consulate. It, like so many instances involving Immigration is that different offices give different answers... and some offices give different answers on different days... and it's difficult to give sound advice accordingly without knowing the behavior of that particular localized Imm. office.
