How to Transfer Work Permit when starting a New Job Teaching

[FangFerang]

I know it is done in one day, but how, and what steps?  Any help is appreciated.

You can't "transfer" the Work Permit, because it is not yours, it is the school's.  When you get a new job, your new school will have to apply for a new W.P. to employ you.  

You are right; the necessary paperwork can all be done in one day, with close co-operation from both old and new employers, and assuming both old and new jobs are in the same province.  I did it once, and had it all done in half day.  Have your new employer consult with your current employer before proceeding.  You are just the commodity, there is nothing you can do yourself, beyond trying to ensure good communication between the schools.

The above comment assumes that you are quitting one full-time job and moving to another.

And it's been shared before that the paperwork to be provided by both employers is daunting and inclydes both employers providing signed guarantee documents, which most employers would not want to enter into.

 

It's already been said before; cancellation and apply for anew WPp (not connected to old WP) is the best route.

 

If all the documents are correct/within the regulations there should be no reason to not, quickly, get a new WP.  

 

It's been said before, completing the new WP application and attaching the required school documents is much more simple/quicker than the new employer going into the transfer process.

This is the way to go for any job in Thailand and not just teaching.
