What happens to a Non-B visa after quitting a job and leaving Thailand?

Question

Hi, just a question about cancelling a NonB visa. A friend of mine quit her job and the company dealt with the cancellation of her work permit and visa. When they returned her passport to her it still says she has permitted stay until August 2022 as it did before cancellation. Shouldn't the passport now have a permitted stay stamp of 24 hours or 7 days after the cancellation? She's worried that it hasn't been properly cancelled. Any information is much appreciated. Thanks.

The question addresses concerns about the proper cancellation of a Non-B visa after a friend quit her job in Thailand. Despite her employer handling the cancellation of her work permit and visa, her passport still indicates a permitted stay until August 2022. Responses clarify that the company cannot cancel the visa in the passport; the individual must take action. If she exits Thailand without a re-entry permit, her Non-B visa will end automatically, but she may face complications related to future applications if her Extension of Stay remains active without cancellation.

If  I understand correctly she needs to cancel her  extension of stay. If she leaves the country without the cancellation she will be technically on overstay and will need to pay a hefty overstay fee next time she applies for a Non-B visa.

Let's clarify something first. Is she on a non b visa( 90 days from date of entry and it's a sticker NOT a stamp) or is she now on extension of stay ( one year extension and it's an inked stamp NOT a sticker)?

If she's on the initial 90 day non b (sticker) then she doesn't have to do anything. She can, if she wanted, stay untill August 22nd. As she leaves soon, then this visa (without a re entry permit) simply ends right there

Ok thank you. She's leaving the country tomorrow and she's not planning to come back. She's not getting much help from her employer. Her passport just says permitted to stay Aug 2022. If she doesn't get a reentry permit and just leaves tomorrow will the nonB visa "cancel" automatically or become invalid?

a Company can not cancel an Non B visa inside a passport.

IF your friend had an stamp from Immigration, Extension of Stay permitted up to xx Aug 2022. This has to be cancelled by the owner of the passport. As this Extension of Stay ends on the same day as the person is employed, the owner of the passport needs to apply for a new Extension of Stay and meet those requirements of leave the country.
