Can I leave Thailand on the same day my visa expires?
Hi all.. my visa expires on 12 Oct so heading to Cambodia for a few weeks then back to Thailand. I’ve read that Customs frown upon you leaving on the day the visa expires (which I want to do) - is this true? Should I leave the day before? Thanks in advance for any info
Answer summary
The consensus among commenters is that it is acceptable to leave Thailand on the same day your visa expires. Customs regulations allow travelers to exit until 11:59 PM on the expiration date. Some advice stresses ensuring that flights are not cancelled or delayed.
