Foreign professionals in Thailand often face complex procedures when changing jobs, particularly around work permit and visa transitions. You must cancel your current work permit with the Ministry of Labour, inform Immigration to cancel your visa, and sometimes apply for a short stay extension to complete the new permit application. Without proper handling, you may even need to exit the country during the process. Notably, if you’re switching roles between BOI-promoted companies, the process is simplified and can often avoid permit cancellation.
