Hi all - if one resigns from a job through which they hold their non-b and work permit, how long are they permitted to stay in the country? (i.e. after cancelling the work permit at the MoL, how long are they given, or is this not the process?). 

Also, nowadays - given COVID and all - can one transition from a non-b w/work permit to a tourist visa (without leaving the country, obviously)?

Thank you!

Answer summary

After resigning from a job in Thailand while holding a non-B visa and work permit, the stay duration depends on the type of visa you hold. If you have a 90-day stamp from your non-B visa, you can stay until that stamp expires. However, if you are on an extension of stay based on employment, you need to cancel your extension immediately after canceling your work permit. Current policies do not allow for an in-country transition to a tourist visa, and there are no COVID-related extensions that grant additional time to stay.

it works like this

IF you're still on the 90 day stamp you got from the Non-B (either inside the country when you had it issued OR that you got when you entered thailand) and you quit your job you can stay until that stamp runs out

BUT

IF you are on an "extension of stay" based on employment (that you got from the immigration office) as soon as you cancel your work permit you need to take that receipt and the documents from your company and GO cancel your extension.

There is no "get free time due to covid" there is no "get a tourist visa" inside the country.

Once you cancel your current extension you have two choices pay 1900baht get a 7 day stamp that says you will leave the country in 7 days OR pay 1900baht and apply for a 60 day covid extension
