Can I stay in Thailand until May 2024 with my current visa situation after resigning from my job?
Hello. I resigned from my job today after working for 9 months. I have a non imm b visa which says it was valid till Jul 2023. I also have a stamp in my passport saying extension of stay upto may 2024 (issued in July 2023). So can I stay till may or will be required to leave earlier? Thanks
Summary so far
The user has resigned from their job and seeks clarification on whether they can stay in Thailand until May 2024, given their visa situation. The comments indicate that after resignation, their work permit is canceled, which affects their visa status. Multiple responses suggest they must leave Thailand soon, as their extension of stay is linked to their employment. They may have only 7 days to leave after canceling their extension. One user suggested a border run as an option for extending their stay.

why is it that people always have there extra special message of what others should be doing. He ask a question and did not ask for parental advise.

Ok to clarify you are not on a non B visa. You had one previously but now you are on an extension of stay permitted because you are working. Once the reason for that permit to stay stops so does the permitted to stay date, regardless that it may be in the future.
If your workplace is amicable they they may write you a letter to say that you’re finishing in a week or so which would give you some leeway to cancel your work permit and extension of stay.

If you are on an extension of stay and you stop working you have to leave Thailand that same day but you also have to cancel your extension of stay. Normally you can cancel in advance with the cooperation of your employer

Go to where you got your extension, cancel it and leave Thailand immediately

Your extension ends the same day as your work permit. Once HR department submit documents to cancel your work permit, you should leave within same day, or apply for extension of stay which will be denied and given 7 days instead to leave the kingdom.

@Lye *********
this is the correct answer 👌Steve *******
You need to leave. Only a valid visa allows you to stay an extention does not as the reason you got the extention no longer applies. You're basically on overstay now.
Tony *********
I think you have 7 days to leave as your work permit has now been canceled as you resigned

when does the clock start ticking. I still have my work permit bookletSteve *******
@Samy ********
The clock stopped ticking the minute you resign your job if you're on an extention of stay

@Samy ********
the minute your employment stops.You need your Work permit canceled, then cancel your extension at immigration and leave immediately.
If you can prove you have a flight out within 7 days, after everything is canceled, you can apply for an extension (will be denied) and may be given 7 days to leave.

@Samy ********
technically as soon as you are unemployed, whatever date that is.If it's under good terms, the employer can make the date a little later to help.
Once the permit is canceled (usually immediately)as the employer is cutting ties, you have to leave.
If you leave without canceling the extension, you may not get caught for overstay or anything.
However if you ever try to get another non-b you could have issues including fines and denial.
If you return just as a tourist you will likely be okay, but you never know.
If you don't do it correctly you roll the dice.

OP@Chris ******
does the employment stop when the work permit is canceled? Is it that when the employer files for cancellation and then gets approved by the ministry, is when it's time to leave?Steve *******
@Tony ********
Not even 7 days, need to leave immediatelyTony *********
@Steve ******
Maybe I'm thinking immigration will give you 7 days to leave when you notify themSteve *******
@Tony ********
Nope, only if you apply for an extention get refused and pay 1900bt then you will get 7 days to leaveActivity
