Sorry if this question was asked before already:
So I just wanted to know what my options are... my work permit will be soon canceled (around 1week from today) and I am on an extension of stay here in Thailand. I know that if my work permit will be canceled I have to go to immigration to cancel my extension and than have to leave before midnight thailand...
so my question is:
I would like to stay still around 60 days in Thailand.
Option 1:
Is it possible to just take a flight at night to a neighbor country maybe eat there dinner and than fly back to Thailand and get a visa exemption stamp ? ( do I really have to show them another flight outside of Thailand within 30 days ?) and will it be easy for me to extend it another 30 days ?
Option 2:
Should I try to make an appointment with the embassy in Laos and apply for a tourist visa ?
The problem with this is... i would need to get the 7 days extension first and I also can’t book yet my flight or hotel in Laos since I don’t know how long it takes to get an appointment....
Additional info: i never entered Thailand before in visa exemption stamp I only had 1 single entry Ed visa and 1 multiple entry Ed visa both issued in Germany for my prior internship here in Thailand.....
Would appreciate any help since I am quite limited on time....
