Non Imm B In Singapore

[ricbkk]

I will be going to singapore next month to apply for a Non Imm B as I have just changed jobs. I noticed that they now require an Exit flight from Thailand. Although I do travel a lot a rarely know until about two weeks before I fly out. Do I really need this for a Non Imm B or is that just for a tourist visa?

Any advice from anyone who has recently applied for a Non Imm B in Singapore would be great.

Thx

If you just changed jobs, how are you staying in Thailand now? If based on an extension of stay based on employment, you have to leave the country the day your employment ends!

My employment finishes at the old company next month. I have just signed the contracts for the new company so my work permit is still active at the moment.

Contact labour and explain and have your new compnay start the paper work. When your employement ends, you can get 7 days from immirgation for 1,900 baht. If you can manage to get the new WP within those 7 days, you don't need a new visa but can just apply for a new extension of stay based on your new employer. If you are marred to a Thai you can get 60 days instead of 7.

But like said, contact the labour office as 7 days might not be enough, it depends on the labour office and job.

That was exactly what I was going to do but unfortunately I have to go to a partners meeting in Singapore just as my contracts swap over. So there wont be enough time to get the new work permit etc. I will be in Singapore for a week and staying near the embassy so it will be convenient enough to get a visa. I am just confused with this new condition saying I must have proof of a flight leaving Thailand again. I could always get my secretary to reserve me a flight in 3 months and send me the ticket and cancel it when I get back but it seems unnecessary when I will have the WP3 form from immigration. I have tried calling the embassy in Singapore to check the actual requirements but they are engaged. Never mind its not a big issue..... Thanks for your advice though
