Hi my friends (filipino)  work permit was already cancelled  today May 5 2017, and according to their HR the visa is not cancelled , his Visa is valid until December 2017. 

1.Should he apply for another visa under his wife's visa?

2. just exit at the border together with dependent (children)?

3. Just keep the visa til December?

4. should they do 1 and 2 by next week, will there be a fine for over stay? 

5. Should the HR give a Visa cancellation letter?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

1. Not if she only has a visa from an embassy or consulate. Not a problem if she has an extension of stay issued by immigration that qualifies for her family to get dependent extensions.

2. If they are currently on dependent extension based upon his extension their extension can be changed over to her extension without leaving the country.

3. No The extension ends on the date he stops working.

4/5 He needs a termination letter from his current employer stating his last day of work. Then on or shortly before that date go to immigration to have his and the children's extensions canceled and then apply for the new dependent extensions.

Thanks Ubon Jo, reliable as always,,, he stopped working May 1 and cancelled work permit just today. I assume he will be facing a fine for the visa if he does change it next week?

Immigration will not be aware that his work permit has been cancelled.

The date on the termination letter is what immigration will go by.

Sorry for butting in, the OP said his visa in not cancelled?

By that, does this mean that he physically has a Non B visa and NOT an extension of stay and that visa is a multiple entry type and is valid for entries up to December 2017?

If he does have a VISA then this should remain valid regardless of the WP cancellation.

No problem, in that case Ubonjoe's advice is correct, as always.

 

Oh and to add, very bad advice from his HR department by saying it would be still valid!!!

I think it is an error in terminology. Many people incorrectly call an extension of stay a visa. Some people call every stamp in their passport a visa.
