What should I do with my work permit cancellation letter to extend my stay in Thailand?

Don't forget to pay your social security yourself for a while, if you are planning to stay and maybe find another job.

My work permit ended in January. I went to immigration got the visa cancelled, got a covid visa. I'm still here and could apply for another covid visa until mid September. But we're done, so going home instead.

My understanding that you have 10 to 14 days to leave the country after your work permit expires or no longer valid

.

1. you'd go to the labor department and cancel your work permit.

2. After your work permit is cancelled, you'll go to the local immigration office and cancel your existing one year extension of stay based on employment. After you cancel the extension of stay based on employment, you will file a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19.

Different immigration offices have different requirements, but all require the following:

1. Your passport and:

a. a copy of your data ("picture") page

b. a copy of your most recent visa (if you have one)

c. a copy of your most recent stamp

d. a copy of your departure card

2. A TM30, filed in the immigration office.

3. The forms (each immigration office may have different forms, and ant to use their special forms)

4. A letter from your embassy saying you can not return, OR a print out from your embassy saying they don’t issue the letters, OR a print out of a letter from the embassy saying they don't issue those letters.

5. 2x passport pictures

6. 1,900 THB.

Different immigration offices have different policies. *SOME* may require:

- The ID card of the property owner where you are staying

- Copies of *ALL* stamped pages in your passport
