Javi0567 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Hello, I need to know if it is possible to obtain the work permit with an expired NON B visa. The situation is like this. It is a Work permit to teach in one School, All paperwork was done in the right way, but a little issue arised and delayed the process. The NON B expires tomorrow the 19th but the person who is taking care of the paperwork says that this is not a problem as the paperwork will be ready for Friday the 23th. He says that the 4 days overstay must be paid and the teaching license and work permit will be issued without any problem. Can anybody tell me if this information is correct? Thanks in advance.

oncearugge Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Doubt it but I am sure the "paperwork person" knows all ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javi0567 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) The "paperwork" person is part of the thai staff of The School and I am not sure about his Knowledge. He said that the immigration office said that to him but I have doubts about it. Edited October 18, 2015 by Javi0567 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What guarantees are the school offering if you are discovered? Time I suspect for a substantive discussion with the boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javi0567 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) No, I am not working yet, so this is not a problem. The problem is the overstay thing. If work permit can not be provided with the expired NON B I can leave tomorrow to KL and get a tourist visa and start the process again. So the thing I need to know if it is possible to get the wp.

Too Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hello, Have you flown out to KL yet? If not, you can go to the immigration office to pay 1,900B to extend your visa for 1 week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 But the OP already has a B visa so how hard would it be to re-hash the same documentation ? Exactly. It took me almost 1 month to get my WP after I got my Non-B. It seemed to me that my school staff were very very slow in doing paperwork for me. To be honest I can't believe that they haven't yet got the paperwork done for the OP in 3 months. They might of forgotten about it, I must say.

Yes, we tried it, but immigration said it was not possible no extend it. The problem arised because "the paperwork person" did his job wrong and all was delayed. No chance to apply for a new NON B in KL as the required documents were not ready yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the paperwork is available very soon you would be better advised to leave and to return on a tourist visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
