South African passports can only go to Laos or Cambodia. It is not his decision though. His University will address his paperwork to a specific consulate as he is not going to a language center and is going to a university therefore he needs to go into his Uni and ask all these questions to the Visa section that deals with international students. They know the procedure. He needs to go and do the questioning there not on here all the time !
I think they are also wanting him to stay a little longer - that is what it sounds like! They are super co-operative so I think he should extend and this week we will begin with the University paperwork and figure out the change over. He is still employed and working so no need to inform immigration otherwise as yet. When the time comes we will
yea they were waiting for document from HO as he is working on Samui. He just had a meeting with HR and they suggest we let them do his extension and it gives him until next year to sort the University one out. IF they are willing to do it and have no problem with the fact he needs to leave there soon I guess we will go with that !
