Visa Requirements Non-Immigrant B Work Permit Cancellation

Dec 12, 2019

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi,  everyone. I went to Vientiane(Laos) this week to try get a Non-Immigrant B visa for teaching. It was rejected due to "insufficient paperwork". When I was at the window to apply, the lady said I am missing paperwork regarding the cancellation of my previous work permit from my old job. I have two questions.

1. What exact documents are needed for this requirement? 

2. Can I go back to Vientiane to apply for this visa again?  

I am a South African.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A South African applicant had their Non-Immigrant B visa application rejected in Vientiane due to insufficient paperwork, specifically missing documents related to the cancellation of their previous work permit. They seek clarity on the exact documents required for this situation and whether they can reapply in Vientiane.

Don't forget to cancel the extension of stay. AND... if you don't have a work permit or not paying taxes, then leave the school as soon as possible.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. How about my 2nd question? I'm asking because when I collected my passport, the officer said, "You can try in another country".

The school can send it as an email or line photo. The embassy will accept that.
