Hello, once I receive all document to cancel my my ED-Visa from school, how many days in advance can I go to the immigration to get it done before my flight go out of Thailand? (cancelation date and flight date is the same)
Answer summary
The time allowed to cancel your ED-Visa at immigration varies by office. For example, at the Chaengwattana office in Bangkok, you can cancel up to 2 weeks in advance. However, some offices may cancel the visa effective the same day, requiring an 'application of extension not approved' stamp to remain in Thailand for an additional week. It's also noted that some individuals have left without cancelling their visas.

Why the need to cancel? I had an Ed visa and another type of non-o in the past. I never canceled and just left the country.

and that you did that and got away with it after you came back and tried to get an extension is great for you

BUT the real way to do it IS

if you are on an extension of stay based on education you should cancel it before you leave the country because just stamping out doesn't cancel it,

AND

many MANY people have had issues returning to thailand, and then trying to get a visa or extension inside the country because they had an uncancelled ED visa extension in their passport

it's gonna vary by office. In Bangkok at Chaengwattana you can go up to 2 weeks early to do it

Some offices cancel it effective the day you go though 😮 meaning you'd have to apply for and get an "application of extension not approved" 7 day stamp to buy you a week to get outta thailand for 1900baht

holy. And they wonder why people don't cancel their visas. For me it's Chaengwattana... so I will give a try to do it 1 week in advance ☺️

Thank you 🙂

you won't have an issue doing it at C/W a week early, go to section N where you got the extension
