TLDR : Answer Summary

The current Edu visa will be automatically canceled if you leave Thailand without a re-entry permit. However, if you plan to apply for the DTV visa, you need to apply from outside of Thailand, which makes having an active Edu visa unnecessary.

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

it will be automatically canceled once you leave the country without a re-entry permit. you have to apply from outside of thailand anyway! so there is no reason to have it still active once you left
