Hi Guys, i m am myself in a bit of catch 22.
I am in Thailand, legally working in an established small company, I have a multiple entry non b business visa valid until Nov 10. My last stamp was due on 15th May which i couldn't go because borders closed, as many, i guess.
Now i m the only one who can administer my company since i m the sole director and that's why i have a wp for this company, (as director), since 2 years already, expiring this 12th June.
On top of that, i have a company lawsuit ongoin, that will finish after my wp expire (and i m the only one able to engage the company, decide and use funds etc...).
Today i wen to labor office first trying get a delay for my work permit: no, until i can stamp, nice ppl, give phone number and tell us me and my thai partners and staffs to go immigration. they give us number, and ask imm to call them when we arrive.
So we go, everything ok until some girl at RECEPTION, not only refuse to study the case, of course avoid at all cost to call labor office phone number and... "politely" asking you to move on. Similar to "administrative ping-pong".
So now, my options seems to just leave this country, lay down my staff and else until my visa expire or give "keys" of my company, to reset the process: i have been there, it s several month, costly and risky, especially before, but now we new covid rules that nobody really now about... chances are good it's going be worse.
So, by any chance, any advices about this catch 22 situation? Side question: i am the only one? thanks for ur insights
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is currently in Thailand on a multiple-entry Non-B visa and has a work permit that is about to expire. They are unable to leave the country due to border closures related to ongoing legal proceedings for their business. They have faced challenges at the immigration office regarding renewing their visa and work permit.
