Ok, I got a situation developing here.
On the 1st June 2011 I was given a 1 year extension to my visa, a multi-entry B. This visa runs with my work permit which expires on 1st June 2012 along with the current extension.
My problem is that during the month of April this year 3 employees left our small company without handing in notice, we were busy working on a large project and did not replace those staff quickly enough. As part of the extension renewal process based on work you have to submit the last 3 months of documents from the social security office showing that the company was employing at least 4 Thai staff. My docs show enough staff for february and march but april the number drops to three...Not enough!
We now have enough Thai staff but my extension is being refused, the option is there to brown envelope this problem away but its not cheap.
They have offered to extend me for 7 days to look at alternatives.
My question is this, If I wanted to leave Thailand and try somewhere to get a 3 month non-immigrant B or O (I will have no work permit after friday, but have fresh 1 year contract of employment) where would I go, what docs do I need etc etc?
