anthobkk Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hi all. A friend of mine will leave his job soon and his WP will get cancelled within 2 weeks. He plan to come back right after to Thailand with a tourist visa. His company will cancel his WP but does he need to go to Chaeng Wattana himself to cancel his visa as well ? Or just leaving Thailand and come back on tourist visa will be enough ? He plans to leave Thailand BEFORE his WP is cancelled and comes back AFTER it has been cancelled. Thank you ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allane Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 How and where does he plan to leave Thailand ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthobkk Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 He will leave by plane. Where, I don't know yet but to a nearby country to get his tourist visa in a Thai Embassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardt1808 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Does he have a visa (physical sticker in passport with an expiry date) OR does he have an extension of stay ? An extension is what happens when you have had the work permit for longer than the duration of the visa and which then extends your permission to stay in the country. Visas do not get cancelled, so if he is here on the actual visa, then he may remain until its expire date and return anytime after on a new tourist visa. If he is on an extension, then he needs to get the extension cancelled at immigration, which will need to be accompanied by a letter from the employer confirming the last working day. Other documents may also be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthobkk Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 I thought that if leaving Thailand without Re-entry permit will automatically cancel your visa, couldn't it be an option for him ? Otherwise I don't really get the point of having a re-entry permit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allane Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 If he is flying out, you are correct. There have been reports of trouble at the Mukdahan and Nong Khai border crossings if the extension has not been cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozmeldo Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I presume he is teaching for an agency. He should go to MoL and cancel his WP. It's one form, right side when you walk in. Ask for photocopies. You must fly out. Preferably home and if questioned say there was a death in family. Do not cross overland. He may never teach again due to not canceling his visa. May have trouble returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
