I have secured a job at an international school, which is great given how late in the hiring process getting a new passport left me. I seem to have hit a snag, as part of the process of getting my new non b visa apparently they need a copy or the original old work permit I had from some 8 years ago. Is this necessary at the Laos consulate? Be annoying to get this far and get tripped up by bureaucracy. I am wondering if the new passport could play into my favor, but I am sure they would be able to see I worked in Thailand before.
Added salt in the wound is sending documents off to be attested at no small amount of money. Thailand certainly does not make the process easy.
