Asking for a friend- summarized at bottom. It’s a bit long, but it’s also a bit intricate so everything needs to be mentioned. I’m not AUS so I don’t know, hoping to get some useful answers here. Friend was teaching and had a WP- school was scandalous*shocker* and says they will be cancelling it. Friend is feeling like they might even get ripped off for their last paycheck 🤦🏻♀️ traveling w/young child the school didn’t attach to friend’s visa… they put the tot on an Ed visa.
I know some schools threaten to cancel the WP, but in some places it costs money so they just threaten but don’t actually do it.
They have another job lined up elsewhere and just need to sit tight til Jan 1. Can they exit and re enter as tourist? Does AUS have any exempt period? How exactly is it done? Buy evisa or what?
I haven’t gone out and come in in awhile. Plot twist- the tot has UK passport.
Long and short- AUS teacher w/ proper visa status fired, young tot on Ed visa and has UK passport. Can teacher and tot exit and reenter as tourists? Any exemption time?
Steps to do? School said WP will be off by 29 Nov 🙄
so of course they’re panicked. Only need to be in Thailand until Jan 1. Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
An Australian teacher, whose work permit is being cancelled, is concerned about the implications for their visa status, specifically regarding their child's education visa. They are exploring options to exit Thailand and re-enter as tourists before starting a new job in January. Comments indicate both the teacher and child can enter Thailand under a 60-day visa exemption with the option to extend for an additional 30 days. It is essential for the teacher to officially cancel their work permit with the employer before leaving the country to avoid complications with future immigration status.
