TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on the effects of their husband’s work permit cancellation, which is set for October 7, before his official last working day on November 2. Commenters noted that once the work permit is canceled, the extension of stay is also invalid, but due to an amnesty extending until October 31, the husband can remain in Thailand until then without working.

If he gave one month's notice, why would the company not wait until November 2, his last day of work for them?

Best of luck Richa. Like I said, it will depend on both the Labour Office and Immigration in your area. Some do. Some don't.

If they cancel the work permit on October 7, but make it effective November 2, it might be ok. Depends on the Labour Office and the Immigration Office you are doing it at. Some insist on it being done on the actual day, not in advance.

I could be wrong, and the experts can tell you, but I think the cancellation of the work permit and the extension of stay it is based on, and the new work permit and the extension of stay applications should both be done on the same day. Otherwise, there could be problems. Let's hear from

@Tod ********

and the other guys who know more than I.

Richa Suzette Can you post a copy of the stamp that you received in the passport? I never heard of a "permit to stay" stamp before.

When he cancels his work permit, his extension of stay also becomes invalid. The amnesty has been extended until October 31, so your husband can stay until October 31.

With his work permit cancelled, he can not work.
