Danielle Oliveira asked in another thread

I have a valid Non-Imm B visa valid until January, 28th. I'm working for an European School and we're having a few problems since past few days. So I've decided to not apply for the work permit and I won't stay with them longer.

My question is: As I've got the work visa with this school and I’m not staying with them, they won't apply for a Work Permit, will I be able to work ever again in Thailand? Leave the country, come back and get another Non B visa with a different institution in the future perhaps? Beucase I saw at the Embassy that they require a previous work permit when people are asking for NonB Visa and I won't have one. Thanks!
Summary so far
Danielle Oliveira is concerned about her ability to work in Thailand after deciding not to apply for a work permit with her current employer at a European School. She holds a valid Non-Imm B visa until January 28th and questions whether she can apply for another Non-B visa with a different institution in the future, especially since the Embassy mentions a previous work permit is needed for such applications.
