If you not decide to take the job the visa would still be valid, so it really is your best option.

Hull will issue tourist visa same day and you can also apply by mail.


Thank you for all the contributions. I have a Tourist Visa issued from Birmingham by post. I sent it the with next day delivery and had it returned to me the next day. Amazing efficiency! It looks like I just missed out on the new requirements of hotel and flight reservations. Not sure that system is going to work as most people make it up as they go along!

Thanks

Why can't the company just send you the paper work and get your Nom-imm B issued and you arrive a little early and go on holiday...seems to be the simplist approach to me..

Not suggesting the company who you will be working for is like this, but come companies promise they will sort out the WP, tell people to come to Thailand on toursit visa, get them to start work and never get the WP for them...so just be careful, the onus is on you to ensure you have a WP


Thanks for the warning but I am 100% sure I will get a WP if I choose to work for them. The issue is I may not choose to take the job as we are still ironing out details. So the question is how quickly can I get a tourist visa. I have been to London to get this before and recall it took 2 days?


Thanks,

If the relationship breaks down you cannot simply just order them on a plane home, they have been issued with the visa and it's up to them to comply.

Obviously I don't know the circumstances surrounding your relationship but you can renege on the undertaking you gave when the visa was approved, you may wish to advise the relevant issuing authority, but I think they are unlikely to take any action.

As I say I don't know the circumstances surrounding the breakdown of the relationship but put yourself in their shoes, you are travelling Europe together, you have split up and you are now seemingly going to abandon them, it may be their fault but put yourself in their position, how will they survive, are you pushing them into a corner?

I'm certainly not going on the moral high ground, it must be very difficult for you both. I presume you have offered to pay their fare home, that may help focus the mind.

Good luck.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I am not the one that is currently in this position. However, I do have a female friend away from Thailand and is not having a good time with her boyfriend. She thinks that a breakdown in the relationship is looming and worried what she will do. Hence at the start of my post - If... As to why it is broken down is not needed here. Take a big guess I’m sure you will be near!



I understand that they were originally invited out there with the idea they would be looked after. I’ve advised that she keep things as amicable as possible and get herself back if she is not happy and notch it down to experience.

Thanks again
