Non-B Visa & Work Permit obtained...now what?

[l3fty]

So I've obtained my work permit with my non-b visa. I am curious what my next step is?

Searching online has mixed results on what I actually need to do next (Example #1 and Example #2). So, I thought I would ask TV for some help. I know I need to go to Immigration again for the final 1 year stamp but due to the mixed Google searches I have no idea what I need to bring or if I need to update my Work Permit validity. My current visa (Non- has it the default 90 days.

Can anyone tell me exactly what I'll need to bring or link to a most recent post about obtaining the final 1 year extension?

Do you have an Employer/job ?

A one year extension based on working is obtained from an immigration office with documentary support provided by the employer .

Commercial web sites which you have been accessing are very poor sources of information.

Attached below is a guideline list as to what is required in my area:

Extension of permission to stay on the basis of employment 327 2557 Case 2.1.pdf

Nothing specific to do with your WP as it will not be time locked to any extension of permission you may obtain.

Don't however forget to renew your WP at labour using form TT5 before it's own expiry date (which may be some time before any one year extension of permission to stay date).
