Do I need to cancel my yearly extension of stay based on marriage before moving abroad from Thailand?

Extension of Stay Thai Marriage Visa Immigration Procedures Visa Cancellation Expat Advice

Mar 31, 2022

3 years ago

ORIGINAL POSTER

I am currently on a yearly extension of stay based on being married to a Thai national. My wife & I are going to move abroad soon and I wanted to know if I have to cancel my extension before leaving or if I can simply "stamp out" at the airport.

I understand that when circumstances change that affect the reason of an extension (e.g. divorce) it's required to go to immigration and cancel said extension before leaving. However, in this case our circumstances do not change, so is my understanding correct that I don't have to go to immigration and it's fine to just leave?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires whether they need to cancel their yearly extension of stay, based on marriage to a Thai national, before moving abroad. They note that their circumstances haven't changed, and referenced the requirement to cancel an extension in case of a divorce. According to a comment from another user, they can simply stamp out at the airport without needing to cancel the extension as long as they do not plan to return during its validity.

Just stamp out at the airporr...

And if not returning during the validity of your current extension....

Nothing else needs to be done.

Safe travels
