My work permit will be cancelled on the 31st December following redundancy.

My passport has a multiple entry stamp until July but I understand this will be cancelled too and I’ll have 7 days to leave the country after the WP is cancelled.

What is the simplest/most cost effective way to leave and re-enter while I continue to job hunt?

"Hello everyone!

I'm reaching out for advice. I entered Thailand on a tourist visa, intending to find employment. However, my visa is expiring soon, and I'm still job-hunting.

Can anyone offer guidance on the best course of action to avoid overstaying?

So i have already posted about my dilemma a few weeks ago. I was denied entry via Don Muang for having already 2 border crossings and 1 tourist visa this year. So i was sent back to Cambodia.

I have worked in Thailand for quite some time before and just took a year off when all the strict enforcing started (or that I was aware of as i have always been on non b work permit for last 6 years). I am not a repeat offender of border runs all my time in Thailand..just this one year i took time off thinking i was within the guidelines.

so I immediately started job hunting and got 6 places that wanted to meet me in person in Bangkok (I requested skype interviews but they want in person)...but i cant return to meet because i cant get in and i cant get in because not working (and tourist visa used up). Catch 22 where i want to work and can easily get a job but i cant meet to interview with anyone outside of Thailand.

My visa question is if I apply for a tourist visa (it is clearly to get me back in so i can interview and get back to work....i have had job offers but I must be already there to seal the deal) is it a bad idea to tell them that I do want to work and will be looking for a job.... because the TV isnt for that but there isnt any other way to get in that i know of given my situation?

Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

Hey,

I'm on a SETV, and I have a question about job hunting and the Non-B.

I previously worked in China, and the company provided a visa, but the service they used was SO SLOW that I was working there for months on a tourist visa, doing visa runs from Shanghai to Hong Kong every two months. If I had known, then I would've told them that I won't start the job until I have the visa in hand.

My question is this: do I have to worry about something like this in a company in Thailand? Should I wait until I have the visa in-hand, or is that very much bad form? (For context, I'll be working as a junior web developer.)

Also, I'd love to know what my expected pay and health insurance plan should be like for junior web developer if you have that info. jw

Thanks!
