Hi. I have a questions about Work permit and non b visa based on it. My work permit (from my own company) expires few months earlier than the visa. I don’t plan to extend it (switching to DTV visa). I want to know if my visa will be valid till the day it’s says in the passport or as my WP expires it will also “expire”. I have a very controversial info, would love to know if someone experienced this before or where to ask to know for sure. Thank you🙏🏻
Answer summary
The validity of your Non-B visa typically depends on the status of your work permit. If your work permit expires, this can affect your visa, particularly if you have an extension based on the permit. If you are on the original 90-day visa, it may remain valid until its expiry date without action. However, with a one-year extension tied to your work permit, you need to inform the immigration office of your change in status and potentially cancel your work permit and extension. It is advisable to check with the immigration office or consult with fellow expats for specific guidance.

Work permit and non visa based on it?

IF you stay inside the FIRST 90 days you got on entry OR from the Immigration Office using the Non Immigrant B visa, you can sit out the 90 days and just leave the country.

IF

you visited the Immigration Office and applied for and got issued a 1 year Extension of Stay permitted up to xx/xx/xx (it is a big stamp in your passport, just have a look) you visit the Immigration Office again to inform that the conditions of this stamp did change,.

You cancel this Extension of Stay with the last day of employment.

In general it's your work permit and your work that govern the validity of the visa or extension. If you're on the original 90-day visa then you don't actually have to do anything but if you are on an extension then you must cancel the work permit and then go and cancel the extension and leave the country or find another legal way to stay within the country.
