Good day, I am currently on a work visa which will be cancelled 11 October. I will do my DTV application next week for Thai Soft Visa. Do I need any documentation to state that my work visa has been cancelled? Thank you

Hi everyone!

I finished my contract on September 30th but my work visa expires on October 27th. I want to do a border run to Laos before that to re-enter as a tourist.

At work they told me this about cancelling my visa, is it correct?

` You need to go to the immigration for cancel your visa first by bringing passport work permit and paper from us. For example if you will leave country on 21st October, I will issue cancellation paper effective cancel your visa on 21st October and you can go to the immigration from 1st October onwards. Then on 22nd Oct, I will go to cancel work permit for you'

I thought they had to cancel first.

Thanks, everyone for your help...

I went to immigration today and no worries... They cancelled my work permit, gave me 2 weeks, and then I have to go back on the 31st and get 2 months.....

Given the new rules i've been reading about, that you must cancel work permit AND work visa THEN leave the country on the same day, does anyone have any experience doing this from Chiang Mai and reaching a land border on the same day?

Mai Sai would be the closest border -- actually 5 hours by bus from CM... Does anyone know when the border closes?

Another option would be Vientiane... It might be possible to fly to Udon Thani and make it over the border there in a single day... Does anyone know when the VTE border closes?

>> it would be preferable to go to the burmese border to avoid paying for a 1 month Laos visa. If going to Laos, may as well stay and request a 60 day tourist visa, as opposed to a 30-day visa exempt (although I hear you have to get an appointment these days!!)

>> alternatively, does anyone know if the authorities will charge a 500 baht overstay if you leave the country the day after you cancel the visa?

THANKS ALL FOR YOUR ADVICES

Tod Daniels Could you please advise? When my husband entered Thailand last year, he had a mutiple entries Non- O (Thai wife) visa (expires in July 2019). He, then got a job in Thailand and the company changed his visa to Work visa. Last week, he finished the contract with the company and they cancelled his work visa but he can stay in Thailand until 3rd of March. He is about to apply for a Non- O (Thai wife) visa to extend his stay. My questions are:

1. If we submit the Non-O marriage visa application and wait for the decision (1 month), during the waiting period, can my husband leave the country or he must stay in Thailand?

2. Would it be possible for him to postpone the hearing date? If yes, what do we have to do?

Thank you for your help.
