Hi. May I know if I need to pay for the 7 days extension after I cancel my Non B and work permit?

Answer summary

The original poster inquires about the payment obligation for a 7-day extension following the cancellation of their Non-B visa and work permit. Comments reveal that there is a standard fee of 1900 baht for a 30-day extension, but in this case, the extension might be declined, resulting in a 7-day allowance to exit the country. The discussion reflects on the decision of either paying for the extension or opting to pay a fine upon airport departure.

Since the OP had the extension of stay closed out cleanly at Chumchuri Square, and since this post is going way off topic, I'm closing comments.

I'm glad it worked out, and good luck!

If my non B is cancel on 1 Dec but my flight out of Thailand is on 3 Dec, would it make sense to pay 1900baht for this 7 days or just pay the fine at the airport.

Update on my situation. Decided to talk to my current/ex employer to submit cancellation of work permit with my last day being 3 Dec. So that was done online and I bring a copy of the approved document together with copy of my work permit (printout from website) and inform immigration office to cancel my extension on non B with 3 Dec as my last day. Went to Chamchuri Square and with proper documentations and alot of smile and speaking politely, everything was done within 10-15 mins.

If you wet to Chamchuri Square I'm almost 100% certain that you do not have a Non-B visa; you have a BOI visa (since that office only does BOI related visas). Do you have to leave on December 3rd, or did they give you extra time to leave for free? Sometimes they give 7 to 14 days from what I've been told.

I have a non B visa with BOI work permit. Well, at least the stamps look the same. Lol.

Officially I report my last working day is 3 Dec, so they gave me until 3 Dec midnight to leave Thailand. It is alright for me cause I'm leave on 3 Dec 2:10am. 😊

The fine is 500THB a day for each day you're overstay. I believe you'll be on a two day overstay, which is 1,000 THB. However, being on overstay is a crime, with punishments IF you're caught.

My opinion: Never overstay.

thanks. I'll try to apply for 60 days covid extension and if unable to get it, then will go for 7 days extension. Not going to risk having my name in overstay list.

yes, 1900 baht, and it is actually a refusal of an extension, gives you 7 days to leave the country.
