What options do I have after my work permit was canceled in Thailand?

After a work permit cancellation in Thailand, the affected individual faces immediate options: leaving the country, often within a few days to avoid overstaying penalties, which incur fines starting at ฿500 per day. Depending on the situation, individuals may seek to enter neighboring countries (like Malaysia or Laos) for a new visa or return with a tourist visa. Communication with immigration authorities is crucial, especially if the employer is holding their passport or if there's uncertainty about the cancellation status. Seeking advice from a visa agent can help clarify the best steps forward and address specific cases of visa validity.
