they are on an extension of stay, NOT any visa, 😉 I think they're sorted out now 🙂

then go this week and cancel the work permit, then take the termination paperwork that says you stop work on the 1st to immigrations and cancel the extension and they will stamp you in until that date. Then the extension is cancelled correctly and you can leave the country.Chanthy **********
OP@Tod ********
thank you!Tod *********
okay
@Chanthy *********
now we figure out you're not on any visa, but instead here on an "extension of stay" stamp that's valid until March 8th 2023 😉 I can say you need to go to the immigration office with termination paperwork and cancel that extension before you leave the country.Tod *********
the only reason you MIGHT get away with not cancelling it is if you're never gonna work here again and never gonna try for an extension on a 30 day visa exempt or tourist visa entry. You won't have any issues getting back IN to the country if you don't cancel that extension before you leave (like you should do) but you WILL have problems getting another extension (and certainly getting another Non-B visa if you ever work here again) if you don't cancel the employment extension BEFORE you go

no we Are not planning on working here againTod *********
@Chanthy *********
then just leave, and either get a tourist visa from a thai consulate in the country you're going to or come back in to the country on a 30 day visa exempt entry. If you don't cancel the extension like you're supposed to, you shouldn't have any problems getting a tourist visa from a thai consulate in another country or getting back into the country.

@Chanthy *********
you are confusing stopping work, cancelling a work permit with cancelling your extension of stay. They are completely different things.Tod *********
your work permit is not what's letting you stay here, that would be the visa or extension stamp in your passport.
Chanthy **********
OP@Tod ********
yes.Tod *********
@Chanthy *********
are you confusing the stamp I'm asking about with the receipt of having done a 90 day report paper 🙁 send me an image of the stamp in your passportChanthy **********
OP@Tod ********
September 9 and then it says to notify the officeTod *********
@Chanthy *********
what does the stamp in your passport say? Does it say "extension of stay permitted until" and have a date?Tod *********
Are you on a VISA or an EXTENSION ? When does your current stamp in your passport expire? That's what you're here on
