Do I need to cancel my Non-Immigrant O visa before switching to a DTV in Thailand?

Visa Rules Non-Immigrant O Visa DTV Visa Visa Cancellation Thailand Immigration Expat Visa Guidance

ORIGINAL POSTER

I am currently on a Non-Immigrant O spousal with multi re-entry permit all expiring in April '26. I plan to switch to a DTV in December during a trip to the UK. 

Do I need to actively cancel my Non-Imm O or does it simply get cancelled when I come back in on my DTV? 

If I do need to cancel it how do I go about that?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user's current Non-Immigrant O spousal visa will automatically be cancelled when they receive their new DTV visa, so active cancellation is not necessary. This means upon switching to the DTV, the old visa becomes redundant. However, confirmation about cancelation is usually provided during the visa switching process.

A switch will automatical end every old visa, but they will tell you when you switch.

Having more that 1 valid visa does not male sence (for any country)

I believe you cannot hold both visas at the same time, once issued your old visa becomes redundant.
