What is the easiest and cheapest way to leave Thailand and return on the same day?

@Tod ********

yes something like that, thank you for clarifying it!

@Zani ********

the work permit would have to have the original employer taken off and then the new employer added to it

there's no new law, people have been able to go from one extension based on employment at one company to another extension based on employment at another company BUT it takes both employers working together to get you the required documentation so you can cancel the one extension from the company you're leaving and immediately apply for a new extension for the company you're going to work for. It's a LOT of coordination and paperwork. AND it's why most employers have you cancel your extension, get a new 30 day visa exempt entry then go get a new visa

You already have a work permit, make sure before you cancel it so you don't have to go through this whole process unnecessarily

Girl, our permits and stamps are valid until June or July 2019 in our passports and yours should be later then that? Please make sure!

@Di***

there is no such thing as a 30 day tourist visa :/

IF all you're doing is going to the border, stamping out of thailand, stamping in and out of another country and then right back into Thailand you aren't going to enter on ANY visa. You're going to get in to the country on a 30 day visa exempt entry

Darren Low they are probably wanting to bounce out and back in to get a 30 day visa exempt entry so their new employer can either get the paperwork together for them to go get a NEW 90 day Non-B visa from a thai consulate.

@Diane *********

that is going to depend on you, where you are and if you're going to go BUY a tourist visa from a thai consulate or if you're just going to bounce out and back in to get a visa exempt entry stamp.

They'll cancel the extension and re-stamp you in until that date.

@Di***

IF that's when your current extension expires "the extension of stay permitted until date" on your extension stamp then yes.

@Diane *********

right, make sure your termination paperwork says your last day is the date your extension runs out (April 24th) and immigrations will cancel your extension and stamp you in with a new stamp until that date. Then you have officially canceled your extension and can exit the country without any problem..

Just stamping out on the last day of an extension doesn't cancel it officially, you do that at the immigration office BEFORE you leave the country. .

@Diane *********

then you need to get your termination paperwork and go to the immigration office and cancel your extension before you try to leave the country.

There are some borders that won't let you bounce out and back in until you do actually cancel your extension at the immigration office.

@Di***

what is the "extension of stay permitted until" date on the extension stamp in your passport.

@Diane *********

which while interesting has NOT a THING to do with how long of an extension of stay you have.
