changing company

[itay b]

Hello, 

 

I have w.p and visa from my old company which i were the owner (I'm selling it) 

And now I have new company that will provide the work permit, and I just been told that i have to leave thailand for 3 months before they can issue me a new work permit. 

Is this true? 

Note that my visa finish at January (Business visa) 

Any advise from someone who did this process? 

 

Thanks

Well you have to leave within 7 days of the cancellation of the WP I know that. 

 

Never applied for a new one immediately so can't say sorry.

Who told you that you had to be out of the country for 3 months to get another work permit.

Many people people have gotten a new work permit almost immediately after canceling their existing one.

Wild guess here.

In case when you say "visa" you actually mean "extension of stay": Your extension ends on the day you stop being employed by the company.
