Do we need to cancel our visa extensions at immigration before leaving Thailand?
Hello mods, I have seen posts about having to cancel visa extensions. We are planning to fly out of Chiang Mai on the last day of our visa (extended) validity, and would like some clarification on whether we need to go to immigration to cancel our visa extensions? Sorry if I use the wrong terminology.
--
Initially entered Thailand via air on 90 day visa (single entry), and subsequently extended at Chiang Mai immigration, valid until 5 June 2023.
Spouse - ED visa
Me and child - NonImm O (dependents - "tagged" to Spouse)
*We are possibly coming back to Thailand under visa exempt (Singapore) for a short trip within the calendar year.
Thank you in advance.

As a rule, all of you have to cancel your extensions officially.
If any of you are not going to come back to Thailand on another long-term/Non-immigrant in the future, you can just leave and let it get expired, still, you wouldn't have any problem travelling on tourism (only). If you have a slight chance to get back to Thailand on long-term visas/extensions in the future (in years), you should cancel them now or you might get in trouble when you apply for new one(s) later.

, You get the letter from the school that states you finish studying on date xx. Bring it to the immigration office that issued your extension to apply for cancellation on or before that date xx. Then you have until 23:59 on that date to leave Thailand.Özkan *******
