My contract has been terminated, and I'm currently wondering about the next steps to take. My ex-employer has kept my work permit book, and informed me that their lawyer, who was responsible for my visa and work permit since the very first day, will contact me about the next steps. However, I'm conflicted with them as the entire layoff was extremely unprofessional from their side, and I can't trust them to handle the cancellation correctly. Therefore, I believe that I will need to take some action on my own.
If my contract was terminated today, does it mean that my visa is already voided, and I will be overstaying from tomorrow? My visa was issued by the Chaeng Watthana bureau, and as far as I understand, I don't have any additional "post-visa" extension granted by them automatically. I've read about the 7-day extension for 1900 baht during the cancellation process, but I would prefer to avoid that, as I plan to do the visa run and come back on the 30-day tourist exemption stamp anyway.
What actions should I take? Can I just wait for the employer's move, or does it put me in a vulnerable position where I may technically already be overstaying?
