I am needing some advise. I have an extension to stay stamp in my passport and I have recently moved provences. I am starting at a new school on Wednesday and I don't have a work permit but teachers license. Will the extension of stay still be valid until I can go for a new non b visa?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion clarifies that an extension of stay tied to employment becomes invalid once you leave your employer, regardless of having a teacher's license. Since the user has moved to a new province and is starting at a new school without a work permit, they are advised to cancel their extension at the immigration office and apply for a new Non-B visa. It's essential to have valid documentation and not work legally until the appropriate visa and work permit are obtained.

, you needed to GO cancel the extension of stay from the immigration office that issued it the minute you stopped working (the date your work permit was canceled).

Then you needed to leave the country either get a tourist visa OR a new entry stamp, get documentation from your new company and go apply for a NEW Non-B visa and a new work permit.

You CANNOT work legally until you do that.

Chris Isherwood Something else I just thought of. Is your license the five year license with a plastic card and certificate or is it a two year temporary license? If temporary that is also tied to the current school and not valid at any other school. If you don't have the five year license then you will need to get a new two year temporary based on the new school and you just wasted two years out of six years you can get temporary licenses before enrolling in a Master's of Education program or otherwise qualifying for the five year license (such as having a teaching credential from another country that is recognized by Khurusapha).

Simpel said, your Extension of Stay became invalid at the moment you left your employer. From that day on, you are in overstay.

Remember Monti Riemon if you work for an agent, you are completely disposable.

That sounds like fast track to being blacklisted.

Officially NO, you can not get an Extension of Stay based on working without working.

Can a person get an extension of stay based on employment without a work permit?
Benjamin ******
Here's my advice:

1.the extension of stay for employment is attached to the employer.

2. You do not have a work permit so you don't need to cancel it.

3. How are you having an extension of stay without a work permit?

4. It should not matter if you have a teacher license or teacher license waiver. Remember, you can only have 5 waivers!

Chris Isherwoood - become a direct hire with a school. KSP has nothing to do with getting a work permit, only a teachers license. As of right now, do you have an extension of stay stamp in your passport?

it has been the worst experience trying to get all paperwork in order to get a work permit and teachers license. I was told on Monday that my documents had come through from the curcipa and I needed to go to immigration to get my extension on my visa sorted which I did. I have not been told anything about getting a work permit and to he school doesn't help when you are working for an agency.
