Hi all,
I was wondering:
If I resign efective immediately from my job and they cancel my visa, what is the process? Do I have 7 days to get out of the country?
Alternatively, if I want to cancel my work permit and visa, can I do so at immigration and have it transferred to a tourist visa in order to take care of wrapping up life here?
Any guidance would be appreciated! I am unable to bottle feed my baby and my school is not helping me find a work around. Their suggestion has been to push her to the point she's starving so that she accepts the bottle. I'm not that kind of parent.
Please help! What are my options? They can be very vindictive.
🙏🏻
TLDR : Answer Summary
When resigning from a job in Thailand, the visa status largely depends on whether you are on an initial 90-day Non-B visa or a 1-year extension based on your work. If on an extension, your stay is only valid until your employment ends, and you typically do not have a grace period. You can cancel your work permit and visa at immigration, but without backing from your employer, options are limited. Some users suggest discussing with your employer for a smooth transition or paperwork support for a possible visa extension denial, which could grant you a 7-day window to leave. Transitioning to a Non-O visa might be possible if you follow your husband's visa, but it requires cooperation from the employer.
