ORIGINAL POSTER

Good day everyone. I am currently working in Thailand as an English teacher. I have a non-B visa and a work permit. My contract with my school ends in March and I am currently looking at other schools to work at and apply to. Could anybody please tell me if my work permit will be canceled and if I would need to leave the country in order to get a new one, or if I'm being paranoid.

Hi Grandt.

I'm in the exact situation.😢

What is the best way forward?

Do you have to find a new job before March ends or do you have to leave Thailand and re enter?

I still do not have a solid answer. Some schools and people I speak to are telling me I have to leave and others are saying I won't have to.

I called immigration this morning they said i must come in so they can see my passport 🤦🏻‍♀️ but that still doesn't answer what needs to be done or rather the best approach to the situation. 😅

Has the school already told you that they will not renew your contract?

have you asked the school to continue to work directly with you? Agencies are generally problematic.

So I was previously hired directly by my school however an agency will be taking over. The agency offered me a contract and said they believe that I will be able to keep the same visa and work permit. I am double checking.
