lifedrainer Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 Dear all, I've been working for a Rajjabat for 4 years and I'm a bit concerned about the procedure to follow when you have to get a new work permit. I was told I had to cancel my wp on the 25th, then I would have 24h to get out of the country. I would then have to travel to Cambodgia to get a 15 days visa AND the next day I would have to be at the immigration office with all the paperwork ready (from the new school) and get a new Non-immigrant B visa + wp. Is anybody familiar with that system. It just sounds way to complicated for a European, I cannot imagine how thai would be able to deal with those on time -*- Need advice please...
Thaimo Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 Is anybody familiar with that system.That does not seem correct. Who gave you that information? Normally, if you are working for a school, then the school handles all the necessary paperwork to get a new work permit. If that is not the case with your school, then it would be advisable to visit your local immigration office and ask about the procedure.
prigas Posted October 4, 2009 Report Posted October 4, 2009 What sort of visa are you under? I believe you will have to leave the country when your visa has been revoked and not your WP as you mentioned.

Normally, when you resigned or left from the school and you have to get a new work permit. Yes, you need to cancel your current work permit before getting a new one from the new school. However, as we faced this experience before, you will have times at least 7 days to cancel the work permit. Also, you can still stay in Thailand with the current non immigrant B visa until it expires. If possible, please update about your current situation at this time when you saw my these messages.
Captain Sensible Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 Also, you can still stay in Thailand with the current non immigrant B visa until it expires. Correct as long as it is not an extension.If he is on an extension (and he probably is as he has been here 4 years) then the extension will be cancelled/invalid
