Alright. Thanks so much Ellie. Sounds like I'll have to go to the immigration and labour office in the coming days. Have a great day.

Hi Ellie,

Thanks for your reply. I didn't know we could cancel extension ahead of the expiry date.

Do you know whether I can cancel the work permit in advance too?

Friday 2nd is still off so that means the first working day of January is the 5th, the day my visa expires.

This would be great if I could apply for cancellation of both before so that it's easy to make plans to leave.

@Graham *****

Thanks, that was my understanding as well. I just see that option as a backup plan if it fails, just time to organize myself to leave and apply for new non-b abroad.

@Tod ********

all clear. Thank you.

Thank for your answer. We do plan to go to immigration beforehand to get the information needed

Some additional questions:

- I suppose we also have to go to the labour office and do the work permit on the same day?

- Assuming everything falls through, my extension will get cancelled and have to leave within 24 hours. Can I pay 1900 baht and get an extra 7 days before having to leave?

I ended up going this morning. It was quite fast. About 1 hour for the whole thing

@Benjamin *****

okay. Thanks

Thanks

. Quite helpful. I am reading right now about the same subject and it says I will need a termination letter from my old employer to cancel current extension, apply for new work permit with my new employer and then apply for a new extension. I guess that what you mean by coordination with both employers.

Hi Tod. That's correct, I am on an extension of stay. I guess what you're talking about must be done before October 31st or on this very same day at the latest. Am I right?
