What should I do after canceling my work permit at a school in Thailand?

the short answer is no, you can't apply for a new VISA after you cancel your work permit and then go cancel your extension of stay based on employment at the immigration office. 🙁

IF you can't cancel one extension from the current employer and immediately apply for the new extension with the documents from the new employer you're done 😮

After you cancel the current extension if you can't get a 60 day covid extension you could get a 7 day "get out of dodge" stamp for 1900baht and that gives you a week to leave the country. <- as has been pointed out you can't apply for ANYTHING from that 7 days to leave stamp. It means you leave in a week.

You'd have to exit/re-enter the country on a visa exempt entry (which you could extend for 30 days if you needed) to buy you the time between the jobs. AND then you could apply for the Non-B visa inside the country with the new employer

As James explained above,

Your choice after canceling your extension of stay based on teaching/working is applying for another 1-year extension for whatever reason you can meet the requirements (except Covid extension if available). You cannot apply for a new visa in-country.

"Because so many people seem to either get their work permits canceled by their employer OR need to cancel their work permit I posted this form on how to do it."

If you are not able to get the COVID extension then you can do a land border visa run to Vientiane Laos and apply for a SETV single entry tourist visa.

That will give you 60+30=90 days stay in Thailand... Giving you time to consider your options.

Ask your Thai immigration office IF you can apply for the 60 days COVID extension... IF they say Yes...

Here's the common found requirements for the COVID extension...ask your Thai immigration office for their requirements.
