Will I face issues returning to the USA if my school delays canceling my work permit and visa in Thailand?
If my school takes too long and I can't cancel my work permit and visa in time for my flight, will there be a problem for me? Would they stop me from going back to the USA?
Answer summary
You won't be stopped from leaving Thailand if your school takes too long to cancel your work permit and visa. However, you might face issues when trying to return to Thailand for work in the future if you don't cancel your Non-B extension before departing. It's crucial that you take action yourself to manage your work permit and visa cancellation instead of relying solely on your employer.

It is YOUR passport and YOUR work permit. YOU have to take action and not wait if your employer has time.
You can cancel both in advance, as example visit Ministry of Labor on 15 July and cancel your work permit on 1 Aug as last day of working, then visit the Immigration Office and do the same. There is always time enough, if you do not wait until boarding the plane.

It’s simply a letter stating your work is finished on X day. Surely they can type this out quickly.

@Ricky *********
absolutely if they say your last day is the 1st is ok too, you have till midnight on the 1st to stamp out of the country.

nope won't stop you from leaving but if/when you come back and were ever going to work here again you could have problems because you didn't cancel your Non-B extension before you left

So, my flight is in the morning. Is it possible to cancel it a day before without having to pay for more extensions for 1 day?
