ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi! Quick question: my visa ends tomorrow (Tuesday 4/10), but I'm looking to get a flight leaving at 12:10 AM on *Wednesday 4/11*. That's merely 10 minutes after the visa expires. Of course, I will be through Thai immigration around 10 PM, a couple hours before the visa actually expires. Do you think it's okay, or is it cutting it too close?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user is concerned about departing Thailand just after their visa expires, with a flight scheduled for 12:10 AM, 10 minutes after the visa expiration. Responses confirm that they are fine, as travelers have until midnight on the expiration date to leave the country.
