Hello, 

I actually have a WorkPermit Book and stamp visa still available until next year. 

I plan to move back to my country for a month (and I will apply for Re-Entry stamp of course before leave Thailand). 

But the company I work for in the WorkPermit just close a few weeks before  !!!

My question is : when I will come back to Thailand in airport, is it possible that they can annoy me because the company close ? Or is not a problem because my visa stamp and WorkPermit book is ok until next year ?

Summary so far

The user is concerned about re-entering Thailand after their employer has closed down. While their visa and work permit are valid until next year, they received advice from commenters indicating that the closure of the company may render their visa extension invalid. There's uncertainty regarding whether immigration authorities will question their re-entry and if they need to cancel their work permit.

If company is officially closed so your visa and work permit get null and void , where as DBD and immegration data generally does not sync so you can ...at your risk

You can't stamp Re- Entry , you have to get new visa

If your company is closed and you're not working, your visa extension is no longer valid. That means you've been on overstay as of the day the company closed. You need to cancel your work permit and extension and get on a legal stay inside Thailand.

Maybe your employer has advised Immigration that you are no longer employed, if that's the case you could have a problem re-entering 🤔🤔🤔

Your "visa stamp" or extension of stay due to employment, ends the day you stop being employed.
