Non B nearly to finish

[Javi0567]

Hello. I´d like to know what do I exactly have to do in my situation:

Almost 3 months ago I got a job as teacher and the school provided me all papers to get my Non B visa, so I got it in Laos (3 months validity). The thing is that when i came back the school refused to provide work permit, so I left the job.

Now, I found another job in another School, but I don´t know exactly how to act.

My current non B expires the 24th, they told me that they can not apply for a work permit with this non B, and also they told me that I can not apply for a new non B if I already have one from another school.

So, they told me that i have to go out of Thailand and get a tourist visa, then come back and with this new tourist visa, they can provide me the papers for my new Non B (so I have to leave Thailand again), then once I get back with this new non B, they can start the paperwork for my work permit.

My question is:

In necessary to do all of this? Is there a easier way to get my new non B and my work permit? I will appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

I see no reason for you to need a new non-b visa. As far as I know there is nothing that would require i

But I am not sure you would have enough time to get the work permit issued and then an extension of stay.

Thanks ubonjoe, yes I understand there is no time for the WP, but why do I need to get a tourist visa? They can provide me the papers for my new Non B, then I will come back with the new non B and 3 months ahead.

There is no reason to get a tourist visa.
