I have a 90 day Non B Visa dated until Dec 19th and I’m resigning from my position. Immigration told me my employer will send a letter to indicate termination of employment and then once they process, my Non B will be cancelled (which means I need to leave the country). I do not have a visa extension or work permit. 

So my question is, can this and will this in fact be cancelled? Will my “permission to stay” considered to be canceled as my employment is ending (as I’m told these are two different things) If so, how do I know what date to leave as I have no idea how long it will take to process the cancellation?  

If not, and I’m able to stay until Dec 19th, how can I be sure I won’t get an overstay penalty when I try to leave the country? 

Thanks in advance as I’ve had many conflicting answers 🙏

Answer summary

The user has a 90-day Non-B Visa until December 19th and is resigning from their job. They've been informed by immigration that their visa will be canceled upon their employer's termination notice, leading to potential confusion about their permission to stay and overstay penalties. Suggestions indicate that as long as they remain on the original visa without an extension, they can stay in Thailand until the visa's expiration date. Clarification around the cancellation process and the timing of their departure is needed.

If you are still on the original 90 day visa and not an extension of stay you can stay in Thailand until the day that visa expires. If you are on an extension of stay you need to cancel it and the work permit the day you stop work

If you're on your original 90 day Visa with no extension then you can stay till the valid until/stamped in date of the Visa. You still need to cancel your work permit.
