ORIGINAL POSTER

I want to change my O-A to an O visa. Is it important that I cancel my current visa Extension first or can I just bounce across a border,  get a 60 visa exemption stamp and let my current Extension lapse?

TLDR : Answer Summary

It is possible to switch from an O-A visa to an O visa without needing to cancel your current extension. You can exit Thailand and re-enter on a 60-day visa exemption, then apply for the O visa within Thailand using that entry stamp.

You leave without a reentry permit and your extension is over baby.

No problem at all stamping out on this current extension, coming in on a visa exempt and then applying for the in country Non-O visa from that 60 day entry stamp at your immigration office

You wouldn't have to wait for this extension to run out seeing as when you exit you stamped OUT on it 🙂
