ORIGINAL POSTER

I have a visa extension of stay (retirement) valid until 25 oct. 2019 with re-entry permit.

I am out of the kingdom for now. I will to go to Thailand start oct. 2019, but don't want to make use of my visa.

It would be much more convenient for me just to get a visa-extemption and void/cancel my visa extention.

Is this possible?
