Will my visa automatically be canceled if my work permit is revoked by my school?

Hi all. The school that I was working for is planning to cancel my work permit. Is it correct that my visa will automatically be canceled, too? Is there anything that I must do before going for a boarder run? The school isn't helping me to explain this thoroughly.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Upon cancellation of your work permit by the school, you must understand the implications for your visa status. If you are on an extension of stay in Thailand, the cancellation of your work permit makes your visa null and void, and you have 24 hours to leave the country. However, if you're on an initial 90-day Non-B visa, you can stay until the visa expires without needing to leave earlier. It's crucial to manage the cancellation process correctly by coordinating between the Labor Office and Immigration.

The minute your work permit is cancelled your visa becomes null and void if you were in extension of stay. If you were in first Non B for 90 days then you don't have to leave before it expires. If extension to stay then you have 24h to leave

Are you on the initial 90 day visa, or are you on an extension of stay? Look in your passport, what does it say?

non b was admitted on the 10th of Feb 2025, until 10 May 2025.

since you are on the initial visa you don't have to leave once your work permit is cancelled. As mentioned you can stay as long as the entry stamp grants you.

Then you must cancel your work permit, but you can stay until 10 May no problem]

OK, while the school can cancel your work permit, it is your responsibility. You take the letter the Labour office give you and then go to immigration and cancel your extension of stay and leave that date, (you can do this ahead of time). If however you are on an actual VISA then you can stay until your permitted date.

your Visa is cancelled at the border. Cancel your WP one day before and take the letter with you. They may or may not ask for it at the immigration border office.
