Quick Question

I am working at a school. I am presently under contract until the end of July, but I will need to start at my new school on July 1st. Consequently I will go to Laos (Savannakhet) to get a new 90-day Non-B.

It is not convenient for my current HR to assist with visa and work permit cancellations in the week that I will travel to Laos. They says that there is no need to cancel my current Non-B before I go to Laos as it will be cancelled automatically when I cross the border. There will be no issues either at the border or at the Thai consulate in Savannakhet when applying for the new Non-B.

My current school said that they will cancel my work permit with the Labor office formally in the week after I go to Laos. I have no reason to believe that they won't do this. They are honest and reliable. Once they do this, they say, I will be able to apply for a new work permit.

I am concerned that if I don't cancel the work permit and visa before going to Laso, then get a temporary 7-day visa, and then go to Laos that I might run into a problem either at the border, or at the Thai consulate.

If anyone has any insight into this situation, I would greatly appreciate it. I am just trying to do the right thing, in the right way. Thank you in advance.

If you have experienced this, please advise:

I have received conflicting advice so need to hear from those who have actually done this or are legal experts on this.

Does one have to cancel the current work permit on a Non-Imm. O visa BEFORE making an application for the retirement non-Imm 'O' visa?

Does the termination date of current work have to be on the date of application or before (if WP cancellation has to be done before application, then of cos, it will be before).

Good evening. Happy Songkran to everyone.

My inquiry is regarding workpermit cancelation & current visa status. My employer terminate my work contract on 31st March and cancel my work-permit while I am away for my holidays in my country. My current visa on my passport will be expired on 30th April and before leaving TH I purchased my re-entry permit stamp which will be expired on the same date of visa stamp.

Question is, right now with the current status am I able to return to TH using my existing visa on passport or It has been cancelled since the day my WP has been cancelled.

Note : New employer about to process my new work-permit. So they want me to return before the expiry date and for the visa processing. But not sure my current visa is still eligible to enter TH or not.

Thank you in advance 🙏

I am going to Vientiane to apply for a DTV visa. This is my plan:

-I will exit to Laos without a re-entry permit.

-My current non-B visa will be automatically canceled upon departure.

-I will then apply for your DTV visa.

-Once approved, I will proceed to apply for my spouse’s DTV visa.

-After obtaining the DTV visa, I will return to Thailand.

-Additionally, I will cancel my work permit with I’m back in Thailand.

My question is: Will not canceling my work permit prior to leaving Thailand cause any trouble for getting the DTV? Someone told me it would.

Any advice would be appreciated since our tix are booked to leave on Sunday and we won’t have time to cancel the work permit in person. TIA!

Hello good people ! I would like to ask for some advice.

My last working date is April 30. Before leaving Thailand, I need to cancel my visa and work permit (WP).

1. Which one should I cancel first either visa or work permit? Meanwhile, based on the photo above, the resignation letter can be submitted up to 21 days before the resignation date. My new employer also mentioned that I can go to Immigration between April 21-25.

2. If visa cancellation can be done before my last working date, how many days can I stay in Thailand after canceling my visa?

3. Do I need to apply for a 7-day short visa extension?

I appreciate any insights. Thank you~

How long do I need to leave the country for after cancelling a work permit before coming back?

Currently on non b - employed by Thai company the past few years. Visa expires this month. I also have enough of an online business that will allow me to qualify for DTV. I only took the non b because I didn’t want to do border runs and just allow myself to nest. Im nester! 😊

sooo… can I just leave Thailand when the visa is set to expire, and submit my application/materials? Is having had a non b visa any type of red flag?

Should I switch to tourist visa for a few months and then apply?

Thank you for your insights!

Hello all,

I just concluded a contract with a Thai company and canceled my Non-B visa and work permit today with permission to stay until March 19th. The company staff told me that I can change the visa and extend to Non-O based on marriage.

1. Is that true?

2. Do I do this at CW or Chamchuri Square (where the Non-B was issued)?

3. Can I just get a short extension as I have a business trip in April and can then just come back in and do the normal extension process based on marriage?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have a non migrant B visa finishing 15th of March and I quit my job end of february so they refused to do the paperwork for longer...

I would like to stay at least one more month for tourism and maybe looking for a new job.

How can i do this ?

Thanks a lot

Can any one have experienced and recommend?

Can I go abroad from Nong Khai gate and come back in the same day? I have a work permit visa right now, and I need to cancel it.
