Having lived and worked in Thailand for 15 years on a non-imm visa with a work permit in Chonburi area I will soon be retiring and want to convert to a 'retirement' visa and live in Buriram.

Any advice on what I need to do please?

Also does the 800k need to be in bank for 12 months when I convert visas?

Thank you so much 🙏

Hi all,

Im currently staying on a business visa in Thailand and have quit my job few weeks ago. Normally my employer would have to cancel the work permit in order for me to cancel the visa, right? However since my work permit is expiring end of this month anyway, my employer just wrote me a letter of termination of employment for the same day and said i can just cancel my visa at the immigration and ignoring the wp process.

Is this the case?

Thanks.

Am I overstayed???

I quit job last month and requested my employer to cancel my extension after 30 days so I can travel and relax a before leaving the kingdom, to which they agreed. Just now I came to know that they have already cancelled my work permit last week without informing me , the work permit and passport is in my custody though. Am I overstayed???

What are my options now? Should I go to immigration and get an overstay stamp OR leave the country without doing anything (At least I won't get a red stamp on my passport with this option)

Need Help please.

Hello everyone. I made a post about this a while ago and I have a follow up question. First a little recap. I am in the process of switching jobs and I informed my employer I want to quit about 2 weeks ago. I am currently staying on an extension based on employment. My employer agreed that I can stop showing up to work on the day that I informed them that I want to quit. My employer told me that they would provide me with a document that I can use to cancel my work permit. However my employer does not seem to want to actually provide me with it. They seem to be giving me the run around. It is my understanding that I must report to the labor department the same day that my employment ends. So my question… is it possible to cancel work permits on your own? Without documents from your employer? So that I can go on and create a new one with my next job. Is it normal for it to take 2 weeks+ to sign a resignation letter in Thailand?

Hello

In the situation of a person getting dismissed from work without notice. What steps should they take to get converted onto an Extension of Stay due to C19. The Non-B visa expires in March 2022 and the employer is expected to try and cancel said visa soon. How long are the legally supposed to give in this case?

Can one go to immigration and convert the visa themselves or is there paperwork need from the school to do so? TIA

I am on an extension of stay with a work permit. My employer wants to terminate my employment and has given me until June 14th to sort things out. I have been in Koh Phangan and have my TM 30 registered there, but a since my extension and work permit were issued in Chiang Mai, I was told I have to return to Chiang Mai in order to get those cancelled. I am on my way back to Chiang Mai now, but would like to return to KP as soon as possible, so I have some questions about if/how that would be possible...1) How long after my current extension of stay is cancelled will I have to apply for the new extension? 2) If I have to apply right away (from CM), will I need to register a new TM30 in Chiang Mai? 3) If I receive the “under consideration” stamp for the Covid extension in CM, will I have to return to CM immigration for the final stamp, or could I get it in KP? 4) If I get the final stamp for the Covid extension in CM and I want to apply for another Covid extension or a new visa in the future, will I have to return to CM again or could I apply for the new visa/extension from KP? I’m sorry for such a long post. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Hello,

When someone is on a Non b / Work Permit, and decides to leave that job, is the Non b visa automatically cancelled, alongside the work permit, or is it cancelled after it was originally set to expire, at the end of the contract?

Thank you ka.

Hello all, so I’m on non-B visa which expires at 05 Aug 2020, however lost my job and my office said wanna terminate my WP and visa at 1 May 2020, would like to know how to proceed as i dont have any flight home until end of May when i check flight. Thanks for the info

I resigned from my job last Monday (June 24) and have yet to hear anything from my employer. This is very typical of them as they do not like “confrontation” or dealing with anything like this so they just go silent. They have had my work permit for months and I have been asking for it back, only for them to keep brushing me off and ignoring me about it saying they will give it to me.

I am currently on an extension that expires May 2020. From what I read on previous posts, I must cancel my work permit with the dept. of labor and my extension of stay with the immigration office.

My issue is that I do not have my work permit in hand, as my former employer will not respond to my messages or give it back. Another issue is that they will not write me a letter stating when my employment ended because they will not respond to any of my messages and are completely unprofessional.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Dear expats, im about to finish my contract and i want to cancel my work permit and visa extension as soon as possible. what are the documents i would need to ask from my employer and what would be the process i need to follow? i know i have to go to the ministry of labour to cancel the WP and then with that receipt i need to go to CW, but i would like to know the specific documents i need. Thanks a lot, as usual, for all your help and guidance
