What is the current procedure if I leave my job in Thailand with a work permit and have to get another visa? I'm not 50 until September, any suggestions? I'm not married but have Thai children here. Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
If you leave your job in Thailand while holding a work permit, you will need to switch to a different type of visa. Since you have Thai children, you might explore the option of applying for a visa based on being their parent, provided you have legal parental rights. This could potentially allow you to extend your stay. However, you must also ensure that you meet the financial requirements, such as having 400,000 baht in a Thai bank account in your name. Consider marriage to a Thai national as another potential visa pathway.
