How can I cancel my business visa and work permit to enter Thailand using a DTV visa?

@Gabe *******

So, in summary, you have a Non-B Visa and Work Permit that both are not yet cancelled, then have a DTV Visa, and, today, made entry into Thailand with the DTV and got an entry stamp for 180 days under your DTV?

I had the identical to you, and easily switched the visa with Immigration to a retirement visa, and cancelling my work permit took one visit to the council offices and cost about 50 baht if I remember correctly.

How come when I ask about whether the DTV visa can be transferred to a renewed passport (a pretty relevant question, given the group), the admin deletes my question? Three times now, and I've never had an answer because of it.

Yes, If you have applied for a 1-year extension inside Thailand at the local immigration office, you have to cancel an extension and a work permit.

You can apply for cancellation of a work permit at the labour office and an extension at the issuer immigration office by yourself, but you need a letter from the employer.

In general, you go to the labour office to cancel your work permit by yourself as long as you get a termination letter from your employer then go to the immigration office to cancel an extension using the cancellation receipt of your work permit. But the order and details vary by province. Talk with both offices for details, especially what you need to cancel.

In a rare case, if you have a multiple-entry visa, you only need to cancel your work permit as the visa itself cannot be cancelled. In this case, talk with the immigration office to see if they can "void" that visa.
