Then why did you say 9 days

7 days for 1900+1000 for the extra 2 days.

I’d much rather...

What Lloyd said! A college can surely get you a work permit. They fall under OHEC, not OBEC. More likely, they don’t want to run the documents becof the cost to them...

Nonthaburi?

This is a re-entry permit. It means you can leave and come back. But when you come back, you can only stay until the 24th.

You’d be the only one at immigration GETTING money under the table 🤣🤣🤣

You cannot do a 90 day report on your current visa. You can do border runs, getting 90 new days each time you enter. But, unless you get an internal extension, none of your stays can exceed 90 days.

The extension costs 1900 and will then allow you to stay until a certain date (date X), where 90 day reports must then be made. Extensions can be for up to a year.

This is your permission to stay.

If you want to leave the country before your extension, it's free. You'll get a new 90 day stamp when you arrive.

If you want to leave the country after your extension you need a Re-Entry Permit ~ 1000 for single entry, 3800 for multiple.

This keeps your extended, day X, alive. You can re-enter and that same date (X) will always be your permission to stay date.

Hey, I’m no pro. But, I think you’re mistaken. Maybe most is some, or sometimes, because I can think of a dozen times/people where the visa has come before the work permit.

Again, I’m not trying to argue a point that I know little about. My experience is different though. Cheers

@Tod ********

, in many, many cases, the visa is issued first. Penang, KL, and the consulate in my hone country have all issued me Non-Bs without yet having a work permit. I can't comment on HKG, but a WP isn't a requirement for a visa to be issued.
