Jordan Davis They couldn't 'not handle it', they immediately broke the contract which they made, which was to provide a work permit. They resigned due to the fact they were being forced to work illegally and treated like crap. Give them a break.

Do you need a hug?

Your non-b and work permit are 2 separate things, so you are permitted to stay in the country according to your visa (90 days) and when you leave the country, it shouldn't even raise an eyebrow. The work permit allows for the visa to continue beyond the 90 days (with immigration visits or leave / return). Regarding the useful comments above, 🤨it is clear that the reason that you chose to leave was because they did not, in fact, honour the work permit. No, since it costs 60k THB just to process the visa, they wouldn't be sitting on it. They would just be delaying it to save the cost. Your 'illegal' working was in fact, in good faith. I'm sorry you went through that situation. I hear of it happening relatively frequently. But equally, have many teacher friends who have all above-board experiences. It's unfortunate that you were unlucky.

Magne Wien rubbish. The 90 days resets after reentering Thailand

You’re fine. You can leave on the 14th with no overstay issue

@Jimmy ***

5 working days - bearing in mind that both Thai AND Malaysian public holidays are non working days

@Thomas ******

that’s great. I did mine in February and at that time Vientiane had just brought in a mandate to remain for 2 weeks. Sounds like they scrapped it pretty quickly then!

@David ******

clearly you’re the expert…

I’m only using my very recent personal experience (and I was in Thailand, had to leave, went to Malaysia, followed the process and got my visa).

And yes, I also have a bumper passport and ridiculous or not, they are the requirements.

You seem to have an awful lot of opinions for something about which you clearly have no experience. But nevertheless, I hope your day gets less boring. 😊

@David ******

as a Brit, yes, I’ve been to the UK 🙄. I’m not entirely sure why you think the OP would want to go to the UK to get their visa from Thailand, but still, in answer to your question, border control will have no opinion on your state of mental health, were you to ask for a stamp.

@Zara ******

you also have to remain in Laos for a minimum of 2 weeks now.
