Please let me know, if it's possible to extend Non Immigrant visa O with work permit under BOI after the company where I am working closes down and my visa will get cancelled automatically. I am looking for 3 months visa without exiting country and it should be legal. If yes what is the procedure please.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the possibility of extending their Non-Immigrant O visa with a work permit under BOI after their company closes down. A comment clarifies that upon termination, the user must personally visit the BOI immigration office to cancel their extension and will receive a grace period of 7 to 21 days to leave Thailand. The discussion highlights legal alternatives for extending stay, such as family-related extensions.

you take your termination paperwork to the Cham Churi Square BOI immigration office (if you're in bangkok) you cancel the extension and they will give you between 7 and 21 days from that date to get out of thailand.

That's how that works with BOI/IEAT companies.

There is no wiggle room, there is no "automatic cancellation"

YOU take the passport to the immigration office that issued the extension and cancel it.

THEN you figure out if there's any other extension you could apply for; married to a thai or thai children visit family extension for 60 days, etc.

I am guessing that you are actually on an extension of stay based on marriage?

Then that will be a Non-B , so follow Tod's advice
