H'mmm, summat not quite right here,

You seem a little ill-informed for someone who has already managed to set up their own company. I strongly suggest you speak with a legal firm who should advise you that you obtain your no-imm visa BEFORE you apply for WP.

"Ill Informed" your not wrong there.

The company im working for has run out of visas for westerners, there for ive had to set up a Partnership with my wife (thai), to obtain a work permit which i had help with. The same people who helped me set up the partnership have aplyed for the work permit already and have given me the (Aplication Recieving Form) WP.3 ticked on it? And told me to take it to penang and apply for Non imigrant B. Does this sound corect? or will it be a wasted trip? im in an awkward position and dont want the people who are helping me to loose face, as they are part of the company ill be working for.

Seeing as i am so ill informed would some one please enlighten me?

I am sorry to say, ngainfish, that you and your fellow Business English students (oh yes) need to try a lot harder.

I can't even be bothered to think up a riposte 'cos you ain't funny this time.

I do find amusement in that Sunblest Asia obviously ain't sure what to make of you.

My smilie is holding uo 2 fingers

Glad to be so amusing. My reply seem the same as reading a warranty card on a pillow It did seem rather boring to me.

By the way, add this item required in Cambodia for the non-B...

Balance sheet, Statement of Income Tax and Business Tax (Por Ngor Dor 50 and Por Ngor Dor 30) of the past 2 years.

If you are a start up company applying for a non B for yourself or an employee, avoid Cambodia as the place to obtain a non B.

The same goes for Thai retirement visas in Cambodia. You simply won't obtain one.
