they won’t have any interactions with police - 👍🏼 a lot more info has come in-

@David *******

yeah it’s likely they won’t even be stopped at all, but they aren’t coming back. It’s not a gamble I would worry about -

3 or 4 days 🤷🏻‍♀️

@David *******

it’s cheaper to pay an overstay fine for three or four days than it is to do a visa run.

@John *********

exactly. The employer is saying they are going to cancel it and then they said oh they’ll be nice and extend it another month. They aren’t going to cancel it. It costs them time and money to do so and they have shown that they don’t do much that requires effort from them. I wrote an explanation in the comment above. Will be a 3-4 day overstay only if they cancel it when they say they will. There’s a 7 day grace period after that and then they will be leaving anyway 3 or 4 days later. Forget a visa run they will just be prepared to pay overstay of 3 or 4 days at the airport. 

@Wayne ********

the school is saying a lot of half truths and scare tactics. Really muddying the waters. With all information in now, tbh it’s best they just sit until the ‘new date they will cancel her WP’ (because they’re so nice 🙄- saying they will extend the WP that extra month 😂)

There’s a 7 day grace period after the date school said it will be canceled-and max 4 days after that when they would be leaving to a proper job on 1 or 2 January.

They will still have that visa that says Aug 2025 and many teachers will be coming and going for winter break at that time. Seems possible they will just fly right out… no need for a visa run. They will carry the overstay fees for the 3 or 4 days and arrive early at the airport in case there’s any sort of situation.

SEA is just garbage for 80% of teachers, it’s just not right.

At the end of the day they grabbed something not knowing any better because they really needed to leave ‘home’ and now have already secured a true legit job and elsewhere.

@Brandon ***********

to piggyback on this;

If it’s a tot and a mom leaving, would they charge both upon exit?

And if you’re on a WP (is it called Non O?) the school says they are cancelling it 🙄

and child is on ed visa,

you can’t get an extension on that work permit, right? So isn’t it cheaper and easier if you need to stay 34 days more to just stay and pay fines on exit instead of doing a visa run and coming back as a tourist for 34 days?

@Jet *******

why are you talking to me? An OP asked a question and everyone chucked out their experience and you decided to pounce on the comment that wasn’t even directed at you, to try to disprove the validity of his suggestion and you’re still doing it 😂

All this upset because someone has a visa that works for them and mentioned it to someone beginning their research.

I’m embarrassed for you tbh, it’s top notch goofy.

Wayne and whoever else deleting their comments 🤣

50,000 Thai baht is wealthy? 👀

@Wayne *******

well that shows what a dumb dumb you are. Something’s wrong with the word misnformation? Using this word somehow exposes the secrets of my soul to you? 🤣 it would be impossible for someone like you, hasty and immature, to understand what my vote might have been. You better get checked because you seem to be full of misinformation. Or else you think you’re psychic. Your best response was to come back with a petty insult that isn’t even anywhere in the vicinity of accuracy??? The member made a comment as a direct response to the question OP asked. He never said it was the best. He never said it was the cheapest. He never said she would qualify. It’s the people worried about beer money that got their backs up and felt so self-conscious about someone spending ฿50,000 that they’ve made a fool of themselves and brought you right along with them. They say women are emotional, but in here it constantly seems that men are the ones that cannot stand to be confronted with logic. Good gawd man. 🤦🏻‍♀️
