I went to the labour office in Bangkok.

@Ellie ******

Yes I had my passport and work permit and I tried to explain to her my hardest that I’ve left the school and they are aware I’ve left but won’t help to cancel I’ve tried talking to them but I’m getting really slow replies if I’m lucky. I’m waiting on a termination letter from the school for over a week. Can’t start the visa process for my new position until this is sorted. Truthfully I’m more worried about being in overstay for Soo long, I can’t have this fine raking up Soo high. Am I truly in overstay if my work permit still isn’t cancelled??

@Tod ********

That’s okay, you don’t sound mean at all.

@Benjamin *****

Yes! She insisted that I need to have a Thai person from my school with me to cancel the work permit.

@Benjamin *****

not immigration, labour office. I got sent to the work permit department upstairs and this is what a lady told me there.

Soo I’m at the labour office now and they turned me away saying no foreigner can cancel their work permit by themselves. You have to have a Thai person from your school with you. When I explained to them that I have already finished working there and they know I they know it but they still won’t help me it’s hard just to get them to talk to me she told me it’s not hard just get them to do it. Soo now I’m stuck I don’t know what to do

@Gregor *********

Okay thank you for you help! Deffo put me at ease

@Dave *********

ohhh! That’s good to know! Cuz I still have the work permit in my possession i never let them have it. Soo how do I go about cancelling the work permit? Do I go to the employment office I picked it up from or do I go to the labour office? Other than photocopies passport and work permit, is there anything I need to bring with me?

@Benjamin *****

no not yet, I wasn’t sure I could do on the situation. Do I need any paperwork to cancel the work permit?
