..has it happened to anyone?

I'd like to resign from my current (teaching) job. It would be the second time that i don't go to the term of my contract..can there be any consequences?

Thanks

I've edited the title to make it clear this thread is asking a question.

If you resign with respecting the rules in your contract such as giving proper written notice etc., there isn't a legal problem with saying goodbye to your school.

After your last working day, your work permit has to be canceled and you have to report to immigration to cancel your visa. After that you have seven days to leave the country.

ive a related question. when you finish a 1 year contract and leave the country, where do you stand in terms of the 90 restriction? do you start at day 1?

Good question. I left the country in October 2007 for a holiday and simply continued with the 90 days registration. I don't know whether it was correct or not.

Perhaps a nice question to put on http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showforum=1 (Thai visas, residency and work permits)

^Your 90 day clock restarts when you re-enter the country.

I don't believe that is true for all visas. My Non Imm O visa is not affected by the loss of my work permit.

I am no expert, but I have often heard from reliable sources that if your current entry visa has never been extended, your work permit expiration/surrender does not require you to leave the country. But most visas that were extended based upon the work permit, do expire, unless you can get a new job within 7 days (usually you cannot).

Best to ask that question in the Thai Visas Forum of Thai Visa.

Excuse me guys!

Iyah doesn't have a non-o marriage nor a non-o retirement nor a multiple entry b. Don't you read poster's previous posts before replying?

Sometimes you can negogiate with the employer, not to cancel the work permit, right away. We usually cancel them, but when we have been asked by the teacher or the new school, we have waited until a time that is convenient to them. I don't know if this is exactly legal, but the teacher doesn't get his final pay until the end of the month after finishing, so it's fairly easy to justify not cancelling the work permit.

This is with reasonably good employees (nothing wrong with seeking greener pastures), who aren't likely to get into trouble in the Kingdom. Had a few nutters that it seemed in everyones best interest to put as much distance between them and us as possible.

Hi,

I have just left my job (Alll very amicable) and my WP has been cancelled - I am still currently in possession of a multiple E non B 12 mth Visa (runs out next Nov) - does this mean next time I leave the country I will not be allowed back in? I am currently in the process of seeking a teaching position (have the necessary degree, CELTA etc).

Any assistance much appreciated.

Cheers

Apparently not, if your multiple entry mon b 12 month visa has never been extended. Ask in the Thai Visa specific forum for Thai Visas if you wish to be certain.
