How can I cancel my Non-B visa without a work permit before applying for a 60-day Covid extension?

Hello ! I had a first non-immigrant B that I got at Bangkok Immigration but the teacher agency didn't manage to get my work permit and it's of course required to renew my visa (long story short, some department wouldn't accept my bachelor degree). I changed my plans and I'm now going to move back to my home country with my wife from the end of March. My question is simple and I couldn't find an answer yet, as I'm going to apply for a 60-day covid extension once my visa is canceled, how could I cancel my non-B visa without holding a work permit? Thank you! :)

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking guidance on how to cancel their Non-Immigrant B visa in Thailand, particularly since they do not have a work permit due to complications with their teaching agency. They plan to apply for a 60-day Covid extension after canceling their visa.

I guess you are still on the initial 90 days you got on entry using this Non Immigrant B visa. If yes, you do not have to cancel this as the visa is used on entry.

then you have two options...if legally married with Thai marriage certificate:

1- Obtain the COVID extension...of up to 60 days...

OR

2- Apply for the 60 days Family Visit extension.

Between the two...

...Covid first 60 + ...

...Family visit 60

= up to 120 days stay in Thailand.

Hello Robert, thank you for your quick answer. I didn't enter Thailand with this visa, but I got it afterward at Bangkok Chaeng Wattana immigration. But I'm still on the first 90 days stamp.
