Once your employment comes to an end, this termination must be reported to the Ministry of Labor (i.e. dept. you got the work permit) for cancellation of the work permit and visa (to my knowledge handing in the work-permit is required by law - I'd advise you to verify whether this has been done)

@Daniel *******

did you give your passport to you employer who then got your extension cancelled and it's marked as such in your passport? If not then your extension has not been cancelled and still needs to be.
