What should I do if I haven't been paid after leaving a job in Thailand without a work permit?

Let’s think this through for just a bit. Given that you’re no longer working there (or soon to be unemployed) it doesn’t hurt to wait a short while and consider your options. If you’re wanting to file a complaint out of anger or feeling taken advantage of think twice. Give it some time before taking action and ask yourself if it will be worth the energy and possible pitfalls of either suing or filing a complaint. You’re technically not allowed to be working because you need a B visa and a work permit. An O visa doesn’t automatically grant you the right to take on employment. So, maybe it’s better, as others have said, to just walk away. Maybe you decide to pursue this further. Ultimately the choice is yours but consider all angles before acting.

No workpermit. Be carefull. Walk away and forget about it. Complain and not having a workpermit could bring you in serious trouble.

You can't work in thailand even holding a nonO (marriage) you still need to apply for a work permit....looks like you had been taken for a ride when u make the mistake of starting work without a work permit you can't do anything even if they don't pay u....costly mistake

Absolutely, you can complain to Labour Department. Better with a lawyer of course, but can try by yourself

Forget it and move on. There is no justice in Thailand for this sort of thing.

Do you have a work permit? If not then you were working illegally and no one will do anything for you.

Did you started work with proper work permit and using the correct visa in the first place?

Most pay by the month and you have to work a month

In most cases the ministry of labor finds in favor of the employee-no law suit is necessary generally, just the threat of one from the ministry results in payment…having said that, it’s very very unlikely that you will have a tenable job to return to after your 2 week break

Two weeks pay I wouldn't bother,

Filing a complaint with the labor ministry is different than suing. The issue is you may needed guidance from a lawyer to do it. I hope you get suitable advice rather than people telling you to take it without lube

Brother had problems

Move on with your life

Seriously not worth pursuing

You will be advised to get a lawyer

Then the real fun begins 🙈🙉🙊

Fingers crossed for you. I don't have a lot of confidence in the Law here if it's a dispute with That's and Foreigners.

You don't mention what your visa arrangements are or if you have a work permit, these will nolonger apply, and you will be on overstay unless you take action to cover yourself.

Hope and prayers to you…
