Ok, here's the situation- I have been on a work permit for one year now in Krabi and am accepting a job offer in Bangkok, which means changing the details on my work permit (getting a letter of offer from my new employer, company details, etc.) in order to stay legally employed in Thailand. The issue for me is my current employer insists that the actual physical document that is my work permit is the property of the company, and not mine. Is this true? Basically, he doesn't want it me to take it with me.
What are my rights when it comes to a work permit? I am currently employed as a chef at a resort, but the company name and registration are mine. Basically, I am sub-contracted to the resort. Does this change the ownership of the work permit? Does it even matter? Am I issued with a new work permit when I go to the office in Bangkok to make the changes, or do I keep my current one?
Thanks for any assistance on this topic. I know the "rules" (term used loosely) when dealing with immigration issues in Thailand can be hazy, but any advice would be helpful.
Cheers!
