ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The user is currently on a Non-Immigrant O visa with a multi re-entry permit, expiring in April 2026, and plans to switch to a DTV visa in December during a trip to the UK. They inquire whether they need to actively cancel their Non-Immigrant O visa or if it will automatically be cancelled upon returning with the new DTV visa. Comments indicate that generally, when switching visas, the previous one becomes redundant automatically and does not need to be actively cancelled.
