Work permit cancellation options

I know if you have a non-Immigrant B visa linked to your work permit and the work permit gets cancelled so does the visa.

What options are available to stay in the country if this happens?  His work permit will end on November 18th.  My friend would like to stay for another month and his school said he could get a covid extension but is this possible?  I mean if his work permit is cancelled and his visa is cancelled he won't have a visa.

He's a UK citizen if that makes any difference and is planning to return to the UK mid-December.

Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A UK citizen with a Non-Immigrant B visa linked to a work permit must navigate specific options if the work permit is cancelled before the visa expiry. If the work permit ends on November 18th, the visa is also likely to be cancelled. To remain in Thailand for another month, he can consider applying for a Covid extension. Whether he was on an extension based on employment or still within the first 90 days affects the process. It's crucial to apply for the work permit cancellation and the Covid extension before the end of November or the current visa stamp expires.

Is he on extension based on employment or he is still on the first 90days from the visa? and when does his current admitted-until-stamp expire?

If he is on extension, he needs to apply to cancel his work permit and his current extension, then apply for a Covid extension.

If he is still on the first 90days, just cancel his work permit, apply for a Covid extension.

Either way, he needs to apply for those before 26th Nov AND on or before his current stamp expires.
