Hello everyone, I have just submitted my paperwork for an ED visa through University. However, I am looking to change to a DTV soft power Muay Thai visa. Has anyone else had any experience with cancelling the ED visa, especially if its still being processed, and if it had any negative affects on applying for the DTV. Thanks!!

Nothing, the re entry permit requires no additional paperwork, I do it 3 times a year.the reentry permit is only to keep your current visa/extension valid, without it they would cancel said visa/extension they won't ask for financial requirements. Just remember to do the TDAC 3 days or less before you return

Fill in the online TDAC form, show your passport with the boarding card and the stamp for re-entry to the immigration officer. than put your fingers on the scanner, and look into the camera without cap and glasses. Ehole process should be less than a minute.

you could say the same about any immigration or visa question. If they annoy you you have the option of selecting to not see this group again.

Do nothing. Just leave and come back. Top tip on reentry, after they stamp you in and give your passport back, ensure they have spotted your reentry permit and put your new entry stamp with an expiry date that matches your non-o. If they just give you the standard visitor stamp and you miss it, only airport immigration can correct it. Takes a few secs to check before you leave the desk!

Likely very rare but it happened to me a couple of years ago. Luckily a while ago I was told to check it so I do it every time.
