If I've been on an education visa for the last year+ can I border run, on a US passport, and come back with a tourist visa after a few days visit to Vietnam?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user asks if they can border run to Vietnam and return to Thailand on a tourist visa after holding an education visa for over a year. Responses indicate a high risk of being questioned at immigration upon return due to their previous lengthy stay on an education visa. Suggestions include considering a visa application online, using land borders, and preparing a plausible story to present to immigration. One commenter points out that the user may be on an extension of stay, which should be canceled with school documentation before departure.
