I have my salary and I did offer to cover the cost. They said no, so I don't think it's about the money. We didn't really separate on a bad note. It was very diplomatic except for the part about cancelling my non-B. Still not sure what their real intention is with that threat.
Again, thanks for the insight. I feel a little better, though there's still that bit of uncertainty with knowing they could take action if they really wanted to.. 🤔
I see. Yes, they are not happy that they spent the time to get my non-B and that they thought I would stay for a year. I had offered to stay until the end of my non-B but they were the ones that insisted that I just leave before the new month.
They did lose 2000 for my non-B but they also cost me a lot more than that to transport myself all over Bangkok and pay lots of fees and go through extra steps to certify the authenticity of every document I have. Anyway, I don't think you are trying to side with anyone about anything, but yeah, I'm just hoping they don't try to spend the extra time and money to get revenge since I was very honest, diplomatic, and responsible with all of my professional duties through to the last day. Likelihood of them spending the extra money is probably slim since they don't really have an HR or anything. It's a smaller school.
Or is there anything they can do at all? They told me they will cancel my non-B and it will force me to have to leave the country immediately and come back with a new tourist visa. I like to think people are honest when they tell me things in a strong manner like this.. It's total bluff?
Also, thank you for your input with that. I really appreciate your time in clarifying all of this. I am a bit stressed about it, as you can probably imagine 😅
I turned a 30-day tourist stamp into a non-B with documents and a letter from the school, so that was obtained within Thailand, at the immigration office. I haven't gotten any kind of extension on it yet.. It's still running on its first 90 days.
So now my question is this: is there anything they can do to negatively affect my stay in Thailand on the current non-B? Someone mentioned reporting me, but is that even a thing? Can they really do anything to cancel my visa or force me into an overstay or illegal circumstance that will negatively affect me later?
I got my pay after signing a resignation letter that they wrote for me, which states that I want to cancel my non-B.. I don't really want to cancel my non-B though. I want to have time to land my next job so I can be more confident about the time frame of coming back on a tourist visa for the next non-B.
Oh.. Maybe I am confused then.. It says non-B but it is also tied to the job. They were very adamant about me getting the non-B to have their name on it because Bangkok laws are more strict about details like that. I actually had a non-B already from my TESOL training institution but they made me leave the country and get a tourist visa again to get a new non-B with their name on it.
