Can I use my Non-B visa to apply for a job in a different province in Thailand?
Hi guys!
So I have nonb right now. My nonb was supposedly used for my work permit application but my work permit wasn't processed until my contract ended, more like they haven't renewed my contract so they didn't continue applying for my work permit. Now I just have a nonb visa that wasn't activated by a work permit.
My questions
1. Can I use this nonb visa (let's say from province A) to another province, (say province B) to apply for a new job (school)?
2. Or should I have it canceled first?
3. Can I cancel nonb on my own?
Thanks in advance.

So you were working as a teacher without a work permit?
That is very wrong for the school or agency to allow you to teach without the Thai work permit.
It's best you leave that school.
Sadly you are not the first to find that out.

I asked for a copy of the OP's visa, and it is a single entry Non-B visa acquired in Thailand for teaching at a school (with the school name written on it). The visa expires at the end of the week.
>Can I use this nonb visa (let's say from province A) to another province, (say province 😎 to apply for a new job (school)?
No, you can not. The school's name was written on it, plus the expiry date is the end of this week.
>2. Or should I have it canceled first?
The good news is visas can *not* be cancelled. The bad news is that your only option is to go to the immigration office and get a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19.
