Am not sure how I select where to post , so this question will have to go in the general forum, until one of our kind mods moves it.

I found out a couple of weeks ago that my work permit was now out of date. Was driving to work and thought, am sure it's this month when I usually visit the labour place.

Sure enough I go check with my HR lady and she says, yes it actually expired yesterday. Wonderful I say...now what...

She says don't worry our Lawyers will sort it out no problem I try to explain that as far as I am aware if my permit expires so does my extension of stay, and I should technically leave the country or obtain a 7 day extension...as I am led to believe by the many informed people on here.

Well 2 weeks have now passed and today she says don't worry our Lawyers have submitted all documents and can pick it up next week. So I say to her there will be a difference in dates and when I go to immigration in Dec for the extension of , they will want an explanation and want to know all the details .

So she contacts our Lawyer...think that should now read agent and they say not sure , never had this problem before...It was of the agents making as they are employed by our company to contact our ex-pat staff ( all of 3 ) to attend permit and extension renewals.

I would like to know if any other BM's have had this problem or not ?

At work they just think it's gonna be no problem and tell me not to worry, the agent will sort it out and when I go for the extension in Dec everything will be fine.

I hope so as my family are coming for a holiday around the same time.

Any help is kindly appreciated.

moved to visa section for better coverage.

ooops...someone did already...

"My" Immigration office, SriRacha, has given the advice, to start with the renewell of the WP/extension of stay 2 or 3 weeks prior to the expiry date.
