Been a long time since I applied for tourist visa/extension.

What will I need to apply for a tourist visa off the back of a cancelled working visa?

TLDR : Answer Summary

This post discusses the requirements for applying for a tourist visa in Thailand after having a working visa cancelled. Key points include the inability to apply for a tourist visa while in Thailand and the clarification that 'working visa' does not exist, as one must hold a working permit combined with a specific visa.

You can not apply for or get a Tourist visa inside Thailand. I have no idea what you mean with a working visa as such thing does not exist in Thailand.

You must have a Working Permit from the Ministry of Labor and a Visa or Extension of Stay that allows working in combination with that working permit. Two different things.

doesn't matter, ask for a covid one, what ever you ask for will be denied and IF they try to send you away tell them you want the 7 day get out of thailand stamp (application for extension not approve) that gives you a week to get out

Okay, you can apply for a new Extension of Stay based on what ever reason, if you do not meet the requirements, your application will be NOT approved and get 7 days to pack your bags and leave the country.

That is not a tourist extension, but it will give you some time.
