@Nongnuch *******

how is the truth racist? It’s certainly not xenophobic. It’s neither. How is it a lie?

Thai employers will not process immigration paperwork that follows the rules. Employees must work through their first months of their employment without work permits. And you think this isn’t true?

Whereas in China, the visas must be fully processed BEFORE you even enter the country to work.

How could you be so blind to reality?

And why did you turn so damn hostile? Tom foolery?

@Nongnuch *******

well, they are actually. Thousands everyday are. And it was the same for nearly every working foreigner in the country. Should they all be rounded up and deported.

If you’ve ever worked here, did you not have to go through the same process of breaking immigration and labour laws.

@Camille ******

1. Yes, if you are on the initial 90 day stamp that has not been extended, you can stay until the 15th.

2. No, if you are on an extension of stay, meaning after your initial stamp on arrival, you since extended the visa at immigration within the country.

If I understand correctly, you can absolutely stay through your initial 90 stamp regardless of whether you’re working or not.

@Nongnuch *******

you realize that this ‘illegal’ path is the overall general policy for almost every Thai company in the country? It’s the employer who insists the employee works illegally. It’s Thais who are forcing foreigners to work illegally.

I moved from Phuket to Bangkok, canceled/changed my visa extension from work permit to education all in the same day, years ago. A logistical nightmare, but no problem at immigration (all done in one day).

@Tony ***********

yes but logic is sadly missing in this thread lmao

Depends if you want another visa…

Yes

Get the non O overseas before arrival. EZPZ
