October 14, 200916 yr OK I got a non-b visa from my Lao with paper wpork from my school saying I was applying for a teaching job. But circumstances changed and I was offered another job in sales. So when mt current job applied for a work permit it was declined because my original application said teacher. Apart from going back to Lao and getting a new non-b based on my new job is there anyway that this can be changed without having to go back and pay 7,000 baht which I just payed a few weeks ago. Thanks
October 14, 200916 yr If you still have a valid non-B and you are not on an extension of stay from immigration then there is no need to get a new visa. You can apply for a (new) WP bassed on the non-B you currently hold.

Apparently there is a stamp from the school on the non-b on my passport so that needs to be changed. So it looks like I have to go get a new one.
October 14, 200916 yr A stamp from your school in your passport???????????? No, you don't cancel a visa or the permission to stay based on one. Only an extension of stay needs to be cancelled.

Well it's not a 'stamp' but it's right at the top of the visa in small writing in Thai and the admin at my new job say it's related to my old school.
October 16, 200916 yr I suspect it has to do with a work permit receipt not being required for issue of that original non immigrant B visa. Such a receipt is required for issue for non teaching positions in the immediate area from my understanding so teachers are likely flagged.
