Hi everyone, would be awesome if someone could help me: my boyfriend ended his employment with a thai company a couple of days ago. And his first non immigrant B visa (the one for 3 months before you get the 1year one) runs out soon. As he is South Korean (asean group member) he gets 3months visa exemption with every entry anyway.
So would it be ok to do a border run to Andaman Club, Myanmar, with a letter from his former employer stating that he stopped working in Thailand and just comes back for holiday? Or might he get in trouble when he comes back across the border to Thailand? Would it be wiser to go to Penang to get a propper Tourist Visa before coming back?
And we read that the new law about work permits says that once you stop working you have 15 days to let the goverment know about it and it said you could do it online. But I could not find where to do that... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The question is about a South Korean national's visa options after ending employment in Thailand. His current Non-Immigrant B visa is expiring, and he is considering a border run to Myanmar. Responses indicate he should cancel his work permit and can return to Thailand on a visa exemption without problems, although flying out might be safer for his re-entry. There is also discussion about the legitimacy of using two different passports for visa runs and the requirement of adhering to local laws regarding work permit cancellations.
