Asking for a friend. She has a work permit and a non b but is changing job. Her school will cancel her work permit but her non b was applied for in lao and is valid until july 8th. She was told as soon as the permit is cancelled she has to go to lao again for a new visa but I was under the impression that that was only if non b is an extension of stay. Hers is not. Please can you clarify if she has to go or if she is okay until end of non b?
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquired about the visa status of a friend who holds a Non-B visa and is changing jobs in Thailand. The friend is concerned that once her current employer cancels her work permit, she may also need to leave the country to obtain a new visa. Responses clarified that as long as the Non-B visa is not employer-specific, she can remain in the country until the visa's expiration date, but she cannot use it for employment with the new employer without a new work permit.
