Teachers Licence Trying To Extend B Visa

[paulmw]

Run in to big problems trying to get an extension to my B visa.

Old system usual doc's from school etc of over the boarder get you B visa come back apply for w/permit simple if a delay no problem get labour dept to give u a cert saying all was in process.

What have come up against due to new laws from MOE, got B visa Penang OK no problems.

went to labour dept to apply for w/permit.

Reply from Labour dept No U can't you need a teachers licence now to apply for the w/permit ( OK no problem with that)

Also only the school can apply?

OK hand all this over to the school (Great)

Now comes out after 85 days seems some one sat on the paper work getting a message from MoE (Ministry of Education)

I don't have enough time on my visa to get a teachers Licence(OK no problem) just give me a letter so I can extend my Visa at BKK Suan Plu.

MOE don't want to know about this.

So now seems i have to go back on a tourist visa ( my thoughts).

Because without the extension, It seems to get a new B visa u need the labour dept to give u a note of confirmation to say that u have applied for a w/Permit.

But u need the MoE to give u a teachers licence to get this confirmation cert.

SOOOOOOOOOO.

It seems now to get a B visa or extension u need to have a teachers licence to even apply for extension of your visa or to get another B visa.

As its been over 2 months in with the MoE & still no teachers licence what do u do????

To extend the original visa or get a new one if MoE aren't playing ball

Just can't get my head around this one.
