Cancelled Work Permit

[Doza]

A friend of mine has just had his work permit cancelled after finishing his contract with old employer. He met the legal rep at the One Stop Visa on Ratchada and it was duly cancelled as expected. No prob. He just had to sign some forms.

BUT...it turns out he had never ever been down to Immigration to register every 90 days over the course of a year of having his work permit. His lawyer actually told him in response to an email, it wasn't neccessary!? Anyway, it seems noone blinked when the cancellation was done.

His WP was issued through a BOI company. Maybe there is a difference?

He will soon be applying for a new WP with a new company. Can you see any probs (yes his address has since changed)???

Anyone??? No 90 day registration and no probs when cancelling? What about when he applies for new work permit?

Thoughts? Experience?

Work permits have nothing to do with 90 day address reporting to Immigration.

Ok, well visa got cancelled too and 7 days or something like that to exit country. Point still applies.

Point still applies.

Your friend should go to the nearest immigration office without further delay, report his current address with the form TM.47, and pay the fine for reporting late.
