Work permit questions

[johnny1966]

Currently on non immigrant multi O visa valid untill April 2020. My company in thailand intend to apply for a work permit for me. My questions are: 1. If the work permit is successful and then cancelled prior to the expiration of the visa, is my visa still valid till the visa expires or is it also made void at the same date the wp is cancelled? 2. Should the application for the wp be rejected, is my visa affected? Thanks for any advice.

Your non o visa and the work permit have nothing to do with each other.

If you are on a Non O based on Thai spouse or child, there is nothing needed other than the work permit to begin working. You might decide to get an extension of stay based on working (assuming you qualify) to avoid the need for a border bounce every 90 days. In that case, should you stop working, your extension of stay would end, and (assuming your Non O visa has not expired) you would need to do a border bounce for a fresh 90-day entry.
