ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, I have a bit of a situation pertaining to granting a Non- Immigrant B Visa. I have worked in Thailand in the past and held a work permit. Now I am wanting to come back- looking at what I need to submit for a non-b these days I see that they need a copy of my old work permit. Alas, I do not have this as I gave it back to my old employer. New employer is asking for it, but it would seem that the old employer cannot help with this. I am trying to get the visa in London before I travel. Would it be easier to get the visa in Laos? I am worried about losing out in a good opportunity because of this at the moment.

The user is seeking advice on obtaining a Non-Immigrant B Visa after losing their previous work permit. They need to submit a copy of the old work permit for the visa application but do not have it because they returned it to a former employer. The user is considering whether to apply for the visa in London or Laos, and they express concern about possibly missing out on a job opportunity due to this issue.

Your work permit is your property, not the property of your job.

You can try contacting the labor department and see if they can provide you with a copy.
