ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all!

I am planning to cancel my Non B Visa from Thai Embassy here in Philippines because my contract from my employer has some issues and I would like to travel as Tourist or apply a Tourist Visa again in a Thai Embassy here in Philippines. 

Question is, does the Immigration still be confuse and ask me why I have cancelled Non B visa and why did I travel as Tourist? 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is considering canceling their Non B Visa due to contract issues with their employer and wants to apply for a Tourist Visa instead. They are concerned whether Thai Immigration will question them about the cancellation of the Non B Visa and their travel intentions as a tourist. Comments suggest they could simply use the Non B Visa until it expires, as visas typically aren't canceled immediately.

Just use the non B visa to enter Thailand until it expires. When you return to the Philippines before it expires, it will be automatically cancelled.

You're non b visa is just an intent of your employer that they want to officially hired you. But you are not yet employed because you do not have work permit yet. Besides, you don't need a tourist visa. The immigration will give you 60-day visa exemption.

They may not cancel your Non-B visa, normally visas can't be cancelled

That didn’t get through to my brain cell (the left one). That’s a language thing. Thanks for pointing it out. 👍
