Just a quick question:

At the end of this month, I've got to cancel my work permit and apply for the 7 day visa. I've forgotten what size photo I need for this visa. And the colour of the background. Blue or white?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The original question inquired about the size and background color of the photo needed for a 7-day visa in Thailand. The responses confirmed that the photo must be 4x6 cm, with a white background, and mentioned additional details such as no glasses or headgear, and that the photo shouldn't be older than 6 months. There was some discussion about the validity of the 7-day visa and the cancellation of the work permit.

4x6, white back ground, no glasses, no caps, no full face helmets. Picture must not be older than 6 months. And it would be nice if your face is shown in the picture, it must look like the one in your passport.

The way to get an application not approved is by not meeting any of the requirements, just fill in the application form.

Yes. That is what I plan to do. Leave the country. So my current visa extension will be cancelled along with the work permit on the 30th Dec. I plan to get the 7 day 'Grace' visa extension

. You get a "Get out of the country within seven days" stamp!

it is not a 7 day grace visa extension. You apply for a new extension, pay the fees of 1.900 Thb and if you can not meet any requirements this application will be NOT approved. Example of this not approved stamp in a passport:

There is no 7 day visa available for Thailand. I guess you go to cancel your Work Permit at the Ministry of Labor and with the documents of cancelling you like to visit the Immigration Office to cancel your Extension of Stay. You can do this both in advance to make travel plans. Or if you wait till the last day of working, you can apply for a new Extension of Stay and if you do not meet any requirements this application will be NOT approved and you get 7 days to leave the country.
