I do sir, yes 🙂

I’ve added him to the group, just waiting on admin approval. So he will be able to see for himself 😉

@Robert ******

yes! He told me his plans and I’ve questioned them. I’m seeking confirmation of this here, I’m no expert but I’ve told him exactly what you have just said

Yes joe, but when you pay an ‘agent’ and they only think one step ahead and just take your money.. that’s what friends and forums are for 😉

Yes.. first one. It’s the ‘single’ entry aspect that I believe hasn’t been correctly explained to him.. the advice that he’s go is that he can ‘just do it next time he’s here’ which in fact will probably mean his non-imm single b will be ‘dead’ by this time and he will have to do the process again?

I’ve been following the ever changing criteria for a non-imm b multi very closely for the last six months, I’ve counted six changes in as many months in Penang. I no longer qualify. The issue I refer to here is the ‘single entry’ aspect of the no -imm b single as far as it being the normal step toward a gaining a multi (qualification isn’t an issue, he is the owner director) and that my friends travel plans don’t seem to be conducive to this process. Ellie’s solution appears to be the most realistic.

Thanks for your reply.. I thought this also and it’s not been properly explained to him, he’s certainly not factored in purchasing his re-entry permit OR scheduling a return visit with the 90 day period..

It’s the ‘single entry’ part that’s the issue (or not).

Yes I know this, but does he not need his non-imm single first?.. and if he gets this his single entry will be used re-entering. When he leaves in two weeks he would be technically re-entering twice on a single, no?

Low paid teachers, hotel workers/managers, scuba instructors and many others will be impacted by this change. Ironically some of the hardest workers.
