Do I need to cancel my long-term research visa in Thailand before leaving for my Ph.D. in September 2026?
I have a long term research visa (1 year) which will expire on Oct 20, 2026. But I am bound to leave Thailand on Sep 9, 2026, for the EU for my Ph.D. which spans 4 years. Does immigration require me to cancel the visa before I leave?
Summary so far
The question discusses whether it's necessary to cancel a long-term research visa (which expires in October 2026) before leaving Thailand for a Ph.D. program in the EU. The comments provide mixed opinions on related topics, though they mostly focus on difficulties expats face regarding opening bank accounts while on different types of visas, particularly the DTV visa. Overall, there is uncertainty about visa cancellation and re-entry, as the responses don’t directly address the original query.
