Hello, urgent question: my work permit is coming to an end on 23rd April, with non-B expiring 29th April. My understanding was I would get some grace period after work permit expiry before having to leave the country but company wants to cancel the work permit + visa on 23rd April meaning we need to leave same day. They only told me this today *after* I gave them documents to cancel.
Currently have a sick infant at home so I would rather not have the work permit cancelled and have to rush out of the country same day. Company hasn't really been clear if this is possible or not...they said if I don't let them cancel the work permit + visa on the same day and instead I let the visa expire it will cause problems with future employment in Thailand.
In practice what is the real risk for staying after work permit expiry and not cancelling it? (We would leave before 29th to avoid overstays.)
What happens if your work permit expired and you’re still in the country? Is there anyways you can extend or renew it without leaving the country? If so, what’s an option? Thank you in advance.
A Question that properly been up here before :) My friends workpermit and employment is expired this month, but his Non B will expire in December. He wish to go next week to Sawannakhet and change to a Non O. Question is do he need to have his Non B cancelled first or can he just cross the border and apply for the new visa? TIA
I'm a US citizen and currently have a work permit which expires on September 30. I want to change to a retirement visa at that point, and understand that I have to transfer the 800K into a Thai bank account 3 months in advance (I think that's clear from past postings ;-) However, I'm a bit concerned about the timing. I'm going back to the US for a visit in July. Would it be better to apply for the non-resident visa while I'm in the States, or should I do it in Thailand when I finish my job and give my work permit back? Will I need to leave the country to switch visas? Is there anything else I need to do? (Sorry if these questions have been asked already - couldn't find the answers when I searched.)
Some may know. Went to cancel my Work Permit today and was told new rule only employer can cancel. Rule verified by supervisor. Asked if ok to just leave WP expire she said employer still has to cancel. Believe they want employer to show taxes have been paid.
