I’m just wondering..

On some Immigration forms - like the TM7, asks for your last date of entry (and place).. While you would know that, as I recall, for all of my past extensions, I’ve always been asked to provide a photocopy of the passport page that has that entry stamp on it..

To be fair, other forms that ask for your TM6 card number, are largely overlooked as they know, there are, at present, no more arrival cards being issued to air arrivals.

Wonder if this is how it will be for the entry stamp as well…

“... But why talk about fines for things not done?”. ==> I like to know what could happen if I were to do X, Y or Z... for me it’s just a way to making an early assessment as what i might want to do and the associated risk/reward.

“... Follow the rules, it makes live easy.”. ==> I agree.. but i also must recognize that at time the system in thailand does not always make it easy to follow that axiom.

appreciate your constructive commentary.

i agree... the one point that i think bears a bit more clarity is that a WP can in fact be cancelled by EITHER the employer or the employer without the other party being present. My experience is that most “reputable” employers (who commonly have either a handful or more of foreign staff presently employed or are experienced with DoE labour rules) will either handle this for the employee or will give them employer the papers necessary for DIY. The only part of the cancellation issue that remind foreigners about is that the penalties for not canceling a permit falls only to the employEE and not the employER.

I wholly agree that the extension (ie immigration matters) falls solely to the foreigner and the employer can’t process anything on your behalf - without you being both present and the original passport in hand.
