About LinkBacksI'm confused by your post AO. The OP asks about border runs if he has a non-imm B plus wp; Somkid explained that once you get the wp you don't need to do border runs. If true, it's very clear. Are you saying AO that it's not true?

Having a work permit has nothing to do with Immigration or having an extension of stay. You obtain a work permit by having a non immigrant visa entry and meeting the Labor requirements. To extend your stay you must meet Immigration requirements and file a TM.7 form and pay 1,900 baht. A work permit does not allow you to stay in Thailand for any period of time - only Immigration can allow entry or a permit to stay. You must always leave or extend your stay by the permitted to stay date in your passport. If you do not you must leave and make a new entry (obtain a new permitted to stay stamp).
Please read Lopburi's post. It was all clear until Somkid piped up. He was trying to help but it was a confusing post.Originally Posted by Loaded

Sorry, never mind I won't post anymore, I obviously have no clue what is going on, on this forum.He does not have one that is why he is asking the question.
Then you post this, which is totally unneeded and just muddles the picture. I know you are trying to help but you sure did not. In my lousy opinion anyway.
Dude dont take things so seriously. Just trying to keep things straight.

I appreciate everyone’s help. I am finding that these things are not always so straight forward. In fact, making things so complicated, I am sure Thailand has lost some good teachers who just do not want to deal with all the hassle.
Man, the women better be worth all this,
Plus it depends on which province you are in. I know teachers with 1-year multi-entry non-imm B visas in Chiang Mai who did not need to do visa runs every 90 days after they obtained a work permit.I appreciate everyone’s help.

Normally teachers obtain one year extensions of stay from Immigration after getting there work permit - in every province. This is a new permitted to stay stamp in there passport.
Unless they obtained an extension of stay they would be required to leave every 90 days and obtain a new entry stamp for a new 90 day period. If extension was not obtained and they did not travel suspect they could be facing serious consequences. Overstay at 500 baht per day up to 20k. Much more serious if they have any false/fraudulent stamps in there passports. A legal border stamp requires that you be present.
