Hello I am staying with non -B single entry 3 months and have work permit. I will leave from Thailand and came back with new Non -B visa from different company. Do I need to cancel my 3 months single entry visa? Or just left from country and the visa will be automatically cancelled. I am worried about complaints. Thank you for your help. 🙏🏻

Answer summary

A Non-B single entry visa is automatically cancelled when you leave Thailand without obtaining a re-entry permit, so there is no need for you to cancel it separately. Your focus should be on ensuring the proper management of your work permit during this transition.

Your first 90 day Non-B visa will end when you leave the country without a re-entry permit

VibrantOstrich583 no, you'd cancel your work permit but a Non-B visa is good for 90 days regardless

Only a work extension would need to be cancelled. If you're still on the initial 90 days from the visa, there's nothing to cancel for that. I'll but sure if you need to cancel the work permit or not.

VibrantOstrich583 There's nothing to cancel for the visa. You entered, got 90 day, and the visa was cancelled already when you were stamped in. When you leave Thailand, your permission to stay will also be cancelled.
