I'm in a weird situation and really unsure about what is to be done. 

 

I used to work in Bangkok for around 6 months in 2014, then I left the company (Its a BOI company) and came back to my home country in India. I surrendered my work permit to the company for canceling as they told me to do. My permit expired on 2015.

 

Last month I got a offer from another Thailand based company (Non BOI) and when they tried to apply for my WP3, it was rejected stating that my old permit was not canceled. 

 

I am trying to get in touch with my old organization but they are no longer in service in Thailand. I'm not sure if they will help me. 

 

So what are my options? What documents I'll need from my old company to initiate a cancelation myself with help from someone in Bangkok?

You could complete a work permit cancellation form and give somebody power of attorney to submit it to the Labor Ministry.

Cancelation and power of attorney forms are here. work-permit-cancellation.pdf

 

Thanks, any idea if my original work permit is required or will a copy work fine?

A copy should be accepted.

I got done over about WP for my old company few years ago - refused to cancel it

but you can cancel it yourself (at the time I didn’t know) cost me a job X2 salary less hours etc
