Hi hi!

I'm going to be relocating to Laos soon but I do plan on popping over several times a year via air and land crossing. With the government beginning to crack down on VOAs, is it worth it to invest in a multi entry visa?
Answer summary
The question revolves around whether it's advisable to invest in a multi-entry visa to Thailand given the government's increasing scrutiny of Visa on Arrivals (VOA) for frequent travelers coming from Laos. The importance of having a multi-entry visa becomes evident as it provides more flexibility and assurance versus relying on potentially problematic VOAs.

Ten months severance payment, non negotiable for every employee of that duration. Also check your provident fund, either you take it with you or get it cashed out. Don't forget to file it for income tax.

I worked for the same company for 7 years and got 8 months severance. But they tried to get out of it. When I initially joined they just employed me, only to then want all foreign workers to sign 3 year contracts, which I signed.

When COVID came around they laid many of us off, they tried to say my contract was just expiring.

Anyway, long story short I spoke to a lawyer and the lawyer said unless the company had offered me severance for the first 5 years I worked for it and then gave me a 3 year contract I was entitled to the full severance package.

After that long time you have 3 months notice period for the termination of the contract and you will receive a 300 days severance pay.

You should get 10 months. It's illegal if they're giving only 3 months. Visit the labor office and they'll help.

It should be what's on your employment contract or without which falls under Thai labour law conditions.

John Chu no. law supersedes. effectively modifies the contract. contract is between the people. state or federal law literally adds a term to the contract. legally.

Let's see whether Thailand follows regulations and whether the labor dept has the power to enforce?
