@Kevin ******

pretty sure thailand did have this rule in place in the past

Philippine is though far worse than thailand getting papers and permits for every thing

I know my wife had to get a paper from the philippine embassy in bangkok saying she had employment in thailand or she would'nt be allowed to to come back after a holiday to see her family

Up date just back from the border (chong chom) got 60 days no problem

Thank you for the advice

Yeah the general consensus is she should be ok to leave so we are going soon only 40 min away on motorbike

It's not the work permit that has not been renewed its the teaching licence ( kruesapaa) i got it wrong apparently they changed the rules and you now need to do and pay for some sort of module which she did'nt know about

The school she works at has always used agents but becouse she is a good teacher they decided to employ her direct , but unfortunately they did'nt know the rules

Its confuseing it's on google if you stay in thailand more than 90 days you need to show it

Because she is on a non B they know she is working

Take your point though should'nt happen but T I T
