Hi everyone. Although it has been explained so many times on this group already, I'm still having trouble understanding how the amnesty works. 

My friend is leaving his job at his current school and needs to go and get his work permit cancelled, so this means that his visa would also need to be cancelled. My question is, does he need to cancel his Non-B visa now, and change it to a tourist visa, or can it wait until the amnesty is lifted? He is trying to avoid going to Chaeng Wattana. 

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user seeks clarification about the process for cancelling a Non-B visa related to a work permit cancellation in Thailand. They ask whether their friend should cancel it now or wait until the amnesty is lifted, aiming to avoid going to the immigration office.

No problem we try again:

If your friend like to stop working in Thailand, he need to cancel his Work Permit at the Ministry of Labor.

Then IF your friend is in Thailand using a Non Immigrant B visa and is still in the first 90 days he got on entry with the stamp Admitted until ../../.. he can stay until that date.

IF your friend went with documents of his employer to the Immigration Office and applied for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on employment he needs to cancel this at the Immigration Office.

You can not change or buy a Tourist Visa inside Thailand.

If your friend can not apply for a new Extension of Stay he has to leave the country, but if he can not manage to leave, he can use this amnesty. But be aware that Cambodia opened their borders for several countries and airplanes are leaving daily to different destinations.
