ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi guys quick question. I have been in Thailand on a non b with a work permit for 12 months which expired on the 30th of June. I left Thailand on the 23rd of June and plan to re-enter on the 5th of July (visa exemption). This is my first ever visa exemption. Uk passport holder. Do you think I will have any issues?

It might be a good idea to have a return ticket.

Probably not, but not cancelling your work permit and associated extension of stay can be an issue if you have to visit an immigration office
