Hello! I am seeking clarification on my Ed-Visa extension, which is due to expire on 10th July, although my language program ends on 10th May; is it permissible for me to remain in Thailand until 10th July?
Answer summary
A user inquires about the legality of staying in Thailand until July with an Ed-Visa, which expires then, even though their language program ends in May. The response clarifies that if the visa extension was granted based on studying, the user must notify immigration if they stop studying. Staying until the visa expires may be possible if the user doesn't plan to apply for another long-term visa in the future, but proper procedures should be followed if they intend to continue seeking visa extensions.

Legally, when you applied for your visa extension you said you would notify immigration of any change in your status. Since your extension was obtained based on studying, if you stop studying you are required to notify immigration that you have ceased studying and your extension will be invalid as of the day your studying ends.

If you never plan to get another long-term visa or extension in Thailand again, then you can just stay until July and let it expire and leave. But if you do expect to get another long-term visa or extension again in the future, you need to cancel your education extension with paperwork from your school, and then leave before the last day of your studies.
