Company have intern girl who quit, what should we do re visa situation

[bkkheat]

Hi,

We have had a intern person at our company who was suppose to be here 3 months, she got a non B from the school from Euorpe.

She has left and said she doesn't want to work anymore after 2 weeks.

What is the next step to take? Should we cancel her visa and go to immigration?

We just want to know as I guess we are responsible for her if she does anything here.

Thanks

if she is on a visa, you cant cancel it, she can stay in country for the duration of her visa, your thinking of an extension of stay

and no your not responsible for her

She will not have an extension of stay, but is here probably on a visa entry. in that case there is nothing to cancel with immigration. If she has a work permit, that should be cancelled.

What if she was already on an extension, would that mean she would need to leave the country immidiately or could she stay for the remaining extension period?

if she was on extension of stay, this could be cancelled the day she finishes work and she has to leave the country immediately, simply because the reason she was given the extension is no longer valid, ie she is no longer working if she paid THB 1900 she could get 7 days extra

An extension of stay would end on the date she left the job. So yes she would have to leave the country.

Bkkheat, you may, if you wish, inform the school that sponsored her internship, for their records.

"could be canceled" should be 'must be cancelled", it is not an option but a requirement.

what I actually getting at was that some companies will not cancel the day someone finishes work but delay it to give someone a chance to wrap up their affairs in Thailand before formally notifying immigration, in other words the date on the letter is not actually the day someone formally finished working

Most companies do that. However, they may be give you extra time based on how much severance they have to pay - for example, if you are still entitled to 3 months severance pay then you could get a letter that states your last day of work is on May 1st, even if you actually stopped working on January 18th for example. That's because you should be paid until the end of the current month + 3 months severance for February, March and April in that example. Of course you should only bother going to immigration a few days before, or even on the effective date of the work termination letter in that case.

If you aren't entitled to severance pay, then you usually just get until the end of the calendar month or 1st day of the following month. If you were let go on the 30th and that's the last day of the month, the company might give you an extra 2 weeks or so, without pay.

The reason I bring up the salary issue is because immigration, at least at the ONE STOP center will carefully check to ensure a work termination letter date corresponds with the worker's salary deposit dates - the letter can't be dated 1st of June with no salary for the last 6 months to show. If the work termination letter indicates a date that corresponds to the salary i.e. a date not more than a couple of weeks later than the last salary deposit, then it's fine.

An extension of stay would end on the date she left the job. So yes she would have to leave the country.

Is the extension of stay not cancelled when the work permit is cancelled?

I have known two people who have remained in country on their extensions after leaving their jobs. It was an agreement with the companies that they wouldn't cancel the WP until a given date.

When a work permit is cancelled immigration is not notified to cancel the extension.

A person has to go to immigration to with the termination letter to cancel the extension.

Hi,

It is not an extension, she just came over 2 weeks ago.

We got a letter from her today that she quit, told her school, the school in Europe asked us if she can stay, we told her that is not up to us, it is up the the immigration laws here.

So, should we take the letter of termination to immigration? Or we don't really need to do anything.

[ubonjoe]

You don't need to do anything since she is on a 90 day visa entry. As soon as she quit you no longer have any responsibility for her.

if she is on a visa, then you don't need to do anything as regards the visa, she can stay till he current permission to stay expires in 2.5 months time, assuming its a 90 day Non -imm B she has
