@Keith ******

Yeh it's my tribute to what happens every time I go to Chaeng Watthana

@John *********

Thanks for the info John, much appreciated

@Graham *****

i'm changing jobs and in theory I should be able to transfer it to my new school but the general consensus seems to be the admin hassle isn't worth it so I should just start from scratch. The school definitely don't seem to want to do that.

The school seems to think it just a case of go to a neighbouring country ( I proposed Malaysia KL) walk in, wait 2 days pick it up then come home. But I don't think it's that simple any more.

What would be great to know is how much time I need away from the school. Let's say for the embassy in KL

@Stuart ********

good point. I'm just looking for the cheapest fastest way so I'd consider

Laos Ventiane

Malaysia KL

Cambodia Pnom Penh

Do you have any idea of the average processing time for UK nationals? I already hold a non-immigrant B but the school prefer I exit and get a new one instead of transferring it...

Thanks Stuart that's helpful - I need something to go back to the head of department with and politely tell him his info is wrong!

@Stuart ********

Thanks Stuart. My Thai school told me to go to a neighbouring country, walk in and it would be done in 2 days but it seems like that changed last year right?
