A Thai boy I know from Boyztown went to Kuwait in August 2018 to become a Thai Masseur. He obtained a visa and work permit before departing and worked there for one year, in accordance with his documentation.

When the year was up last August he was tricked into signing up for another year but his visa and work permit were not renewed. His employer has kept his passport “to renew the documentation”, and now refuses to return it to him, making numerous excuses. They need more staff.

The guy wants to return to Thailand and can easily get an airline ticket but is stuffed by his employers illegal retention of his passport.
There may be other issues too about his lack of current visa and work permit.

He is going to try the Embassy, but from what I have read, I doubt they will take much interest.

Anyone familiar with this and how he should proceed?i I’m sure it’s a familiar story but cannot find much on the internet.

I know this should perhaps be in the Gay World forum, but he is Thai and did work in Pattaya and I’m hoping it will get more replies here.
