primeta Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Hi, Can anyone confirm this please? New Practice for Business Visa Cancellation Under previous rules, after cancelling a business visa at the Immigration Bureau, an expatriate must leave Thailand before midnight on the same date. Keywords: Mazars, Thailand, Legal, Immigration Bureau, Visa, Expatriate 12 July 2013 Otherwise, an overstay penalty of 500 Baht per day (up to 20,000 Baht) must be paid by the expatriate when leaving the Kingdom. Recently, the Immigration Bureau relaxed this requirement and will now allow the expatriate to submit the visa cancellation application by confirming their last working day 7 days in advance. This is consistent with the practice employed by the One Stop Service Center. For instance, if an expatriate has agreed their last working day with their employer to be 30 June 2013, they can submit the visa cancellation application at the Immigration Bureau on 23 June 2013. http://www.mazars.co.th/Home/Doing-Business-in-Thailand/Legal/New-Practice-for-Business-Visa-Cancellation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattd Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Yes it is as far as I know, you can ask your employer to do this and immigration will accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeta Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Thanks. It seems a lot easier than trying to do it on the final day of work then having to rush to the airport. Why doesn't everyone do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattd Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Depends on cooperation from the employer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primeta Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 I presume they adjust the end date of the extension to the final day of work. Seems a simpler and gentler way of doing it than blunt cancellation on the day itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
