How long do I need to be out of Thailand before returning on a tourist visa after leaving on an ED visa?

As you will have completed your current university related studies in Bangkok....be sure your Ed visa is cancelled properly before leaving Thailand.

And may I suggest you consider seeking a university position with a Thai university...with your superb education credentials.

As an interim solution...

As you await the safe return to Myanmar and your university position in Yangon.

The tourist visa will only grant you max of 90 days...with little opportunity to extend it so long as Thai land borders remain closed.

Just a question. What's an "ED visa"? IF you have the original 90 day ED visa, there is nothing you need to do at the immigration office. IF you have a stamp that says "extension of stay based on studying", you'll need to go to the immigration office, with a letter from the school saying you are no longer studying. You can get this done in advance.

for asking me in private this question).

There is no requirement of minimum stay out of Thailand regarding tourists or whatever entry. You even can enter Thailand on the same day you leave Thailand if you can meet all requirements to enter Thailand under Covid affected environment.

45 seconds is adequate... Benjamin! Visa agnostic.... i like it

The Thailand Pass is separate from getting a visa. The Thailand Pass is visa agnostic and discussion of it is outside the scope of the group and any discussion of it will be deleted.

For getting a tourist visa, there is no restrictions on getting them back-to-back
