TLDR : Answer Summary
The user plans to leave Thailand with an expiring education visa on February 24, 2025, and seeks guidance on whether they need to formally cancel their education visa. Commenters suggest that the need for cancellation depends on whether the user is on an initial visa or an extension of stay.

correct... But, i think i would not extending my Visa ED Plus. My Question still same. Did i need to get cancelation letter? I will leave Thailand at 22 February 2025. My Visa Expired was 25 February 2025.

My Visa will automatically expired because of I'm leaving Thailand? Or i still did letter for cancellation?

If you’re on the original visa entry (not on an extension of stay) then just by leaving your visa is cancelled. You don’t need to - nor can you cancel it prior to departure.

Depends on whether you actually have a visa (initial visa) or you have an “extension of stay”. Check the stamp in your passport

If the latter it needs to be cancelled. The former cancels itself when you leave.

Thats an entry stamp saying you have an ed plus. You either have another stamp or sticker or a PDF with the visa details.
