Davemcdavidjnr Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Can anybody tell me if I can get a Non B visa before my ED visa expires, as I am getting a job and need to get work permit now, however my ED visa does not finish until June.

ubonjoe Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 What do you have a multiple entry ED visa you obtained from a embassy or consulate or an extension of stay from immigration? Either one may not be accepted for a work permit application meaning you will have to go out for a tourist visa and then apply for a work permit. According to rules you should be a able to apply for a work permit and then just get an extension of stray based upon working but in reality they look upon a ED visa or extension as lower class than a tourist visa.

Davemcdavidjnr Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Basically what I am asking, can I get a Non B visa whilst the ED visa is still valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Do you have a visa obtained from an embassy or consulate for an extension of stay from immigration? I cannot answer your question correctly without an answer. You will not get a B visa without first doing an application for a work permit unless you will be teaching at any nearby embassy or consulate..
