Canceling Work Permit - Options? Obligations? And What About Immigration?

[mopenyang]

I am ending my present employment on September 15th. When do I need to turn in my work permit? Does this have to occur on the very day my contract is terminated, i.e., 15th, or can it be done the next day? What and when do I have to do in terms of Immigration regarding leaving the country or converting my present non-Imm B for my new employer? Thanks, all.

If you are on a one year extension of stay you need to leave or apply for a 7 day extension of stay on that day. Employer should provide you a letter for Immigration.

Am not sure of work permit rules.

Hi,

According to the lawfirm Dej-Udom & Associates (who advertise on this site): "[Effective this month the Employment Department no longer requires companies to report the last official working day of expatriate employees and the expatriate employee is not required to return his/her work permit booklet to the Employment Department. The booklet can simply be keep by the expatriate for his/her records. However, the Immigration Department still requires cancellation of the employee's non-immigrant work visa and the visas for any dependant family members."
