NON-IMM O VISA CANCELLATION AND PERIOD OF GRACE QUESTION:

I everyone. I am currently on a two-months extension of permit to stay on my non-o dependent visa (linked to my husband visa). I got a job and need to travel out of the country to apply for a new visa (relevant to the job). I know that, to process the new visa I need first to cancel the current one. My questions are the followings:

1 – Given that is a non-imm o dependent visa (based on my husband who is not-Thai), what is the process that I need to follow to get it cancelled i.e. 

- Where do I go to get it cancelled?

- What do I need to bring to get it cancelled? I.e. do I need a letter or can I just go there and get it canceled?

2 – What is the grace period given to me before I have to leave the country to apply for a new visa (i.e. do I need to travel out of the country the same day I cancel the visa, or how many days do I have before having to leave the country?)

3 – Any tips on where I can find reliable info related to all of this process?

Thanks!

Got it clear by PM. Explained the difference of Extension of Stay based on visiting family and based on study in Thailand. She will go and get her new visa, problem is that employer does not want to give the supporting letter for the Non Immigrant O visa based on dependent for her husband and baby. She will talk with employer and MFA, who gave her the visa documents how to find an alternative.

First of all, you can not cancel a visa. It looks to me you had a visa and the valid until date or enter before date is in the past. You have now a 60 day Extension of Stay to visit your family. You do not have to cancel this, you can just leave the country before the permitted up to date ../../.. and apply for a new visa.

That is absolutely wrong. That is why I am asking this question. I have been told also by my new employer that I do need to cancel my current visa. Grateful if someone with correct answer could advice.
