Hi folks, a while ago I posted about cancelling an extension of stay based on studying a university degree before the official date of graduation. Just wanted to give a short update in case anyone was interested: I just finished a 30 minute phone call with immigration and they basically told me they have no pre-intended process foe a case like this and that I should contact the immigration at their premises.
What would you do in my case?
Usually Thai students end their studies by doing a mandatory internship and in many (most?) Cases, the places where they do their internship will offer them a contract to stay with them after graduation. This is also the case for me. They would like me to continue working right away, but I told them that I wouldn't start until we got my visa and work permit worked out. So they already started that process to make it as quick of a transition as possible. But officially I don't graduate until December this year. Obviously neither the company nor me can wait this long, considering that we can only start applying for my work permit after i cancelled my student visa and changed to a visa that actually supports a work permit. Tricky, isn't it?
