soitgoes769 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Decided not to renew my teaching contract and will leave the country at the end of the contract and visa. Do I have to cancel and/or return my work permit book? I will be returning to Thailand later to take up another job. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 You should cancel the work permit before leaving. Your employer can do it. You are given back the old work permit after it is cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to leave the country tomorrow. Can I send a Thai friend to the Ministry of Labor to cancel it for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct99q Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Your contract ends on July 29th? There are threads on here about some of the issues of leaving without providing notice etc. If you are considering coming back to work there have been few discussions in regards to having issues getting another work permit if your previous oneo was not cancelled correctly. If flying out usually not a problem. Leaving by a land border could present an issue depending on your current immigration status. Is your permission to remain in Thailand based on you having an extension because of being employed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 You could have somebody cancel the work permit for you. You would have do a power of attorney for them to do it. Form to cancel the work permit and the power of attorney is here. http://wp.doe.go.th/wp/images/form/wp_cancellation.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udinbkk Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hey hi, I am in a bit of similar condition as the current employer is not cooperating to cancel work permit or visa. Can you tell me what you did? if there was any problem in getting new work permit or not? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
