Do I need to go to labor or immigration first to cancel my work permit and visa in Thailand?
AliJames *****
@Robert ******
 Yeah that's what I meant. When I cancelled mine I was given 7 days to leave before the non b became void. So I just left and applied for a non -o visa in Vietnam. Worth knowing just in case Patrick doesn't meet the requirements.

I think you get 7 days leeway to sort out your visa after you cancel the work permit at the Labour office.
