By grace period, I mean the 7 days to leave the kingdom - which will be paid for. Sorry, we are talking about the same thing I just think my choice of words isn't right.

My work have said they will organise this for me, so I don't have to finish work and leave the country on the same day. My question is that does having that stamp (already paid for at immigration) cause issues when then leaving the country via a landborder?

Thanks for the info. Work are organising everything for me, including that 7-days from the denial - so I'm not too worried about that.

I've got a flight booked back home, a job offer email from the UK, enough money in my bank account and I can book a few hotels no problem. Hopefully that's enough?

I wish I had known this before. So, my work will be cancelling my WP/visa on the last day of my contract, and asking for that 7 day grace period to leave. My plan was to then take the bus up Nong Khai at day before the 7-day period expires (trying to stretch my money as far as possible on a budget!) cross via land, and head to the embassy.

Is there any reason why they might say no to leaving if I have that 7-day stamp in my passport?

Sorry, yes, this is what I mean. The cancellations/request for extension knowing it'll be denied and given 7 days etc is all being organised by work. They don't seem concerned about getting the 7-day grace period at all, seems they do this often.
