Hi All

My friend has valid thailand stay extension stamp with multiple entry till 2024. But his work permit was cancelled in May 2023 and he left thailand as soon as his work permit was cancelled without cancelling his non-b extension stamp. Is it possible for him to enter thailand by applying tourist visa or get VOA next month for tourism purpose.

I would like to know whether embassy will provide tourist visa or get VOA if he is having valid non-b extension stamp till 2024 (WP cancelled) already in the passport? Please suggest. Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
Your friend can enter Thailand with a tourist visa or obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA) despite having a valid non-B extension stamp until 2024, which was issued before the work permit cancellation. It's important to note that while he may face no issues with entry as a tourist, applying for a long-term visa or extension could present complications.

No issues entering as a tourist and probably no issues purchasing a tourist visa from a Thai embassy. The problem will come up if they apply for a long term visa or extension.
