Answer summary

Several commenters suggest different approaches, including letting the visa expire, changing to another visa type which would auto-cancel the DTV, or going through the consulate that issued the visa.

If you apply different type of visa for example non immigrant then it will be automatically invalid.

Lol just go out the country and comeback as tourist and apply the visa you need
It's ******
@Gab ***
They have the visa in the system, so even if you don't mention DTV, they generally stamp in for that.

It's Fine no they don’t. I have entered many times as tourist and not DTV since I was only staying few weeks.

I tried that on an "O" and they refused to stamp me in Visa Exempt. They could try.

For what reason are you wanting to cancel it? I'm not sure you can but if you are looking for a different visa you can convert from the DTV to another visa type at an immigration office inside Thailand.

I am curious why you would want to cancel the DTV visa?
No judgement or anything, just genuine curiosity why anyone would want to.
Changing to a different visa is the only reason I can think of. So just curious if there's any other reasons.

What if you have DTV and don't want to comply with visa requirements anymore like keeping 500K and enrollment in softpower, or remote job? With a DTV you cannot choose to enter on visa exempt.Mike **********

you dont need to have any of yhose requirments.Luit *****************
@Mike *********
Who told you there are no requirements? Just use your brains.Marianne ********
@Luit ****************
But you don't currently need to do any of that at the current time unless you want to extend your stay IN the country. If you head out and head back in, there is as far as I know, zero to little questions about any of this.

When you ask MFA or Immigration, they will tell you that visa requirements are for the full 5 year period. I know here is a group that explains the fact that it is not enforced as that it is not needed. Not complying with requirements just is illegal.

I had the same issue & asked the immigration officers from government complex about it.
They also didn't know exactly the cancellation processs & they told me like that ur DTV visa will be automatically cancelled if u issue another type of visa outside of the country.

Participante anónimo 295 but you can't get another visa issued if you have an active visa, they say 🤷🏻

@Elías *******
what can we do about this situation even the immigration officers with high rank can't give the exact solution ?? I juz told what they said to me.Anonymous ******************
@Elías *******
it is hard to contact these two coz they never reply our emails...but I'm not sure about asking in person.It is quite diffcult to go in person to the country where the visa issued only for this matter.

Participante anónimo 295 as others mentioned, you should contact the consulate or embassy that issued the visa. They surely can cancel it.

Unless I'm mistaken you have to cancel the DTV thru the consulate you bought it thru, they have to go into the system and cancel it because they issued it
the Immigration office at Chaengwattana can't cancel a visa issued by a consulate outside the country
You MIGHT go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Office out there at the government complex because they run the consulates scattered around the world and might know how you could cancel a DTV

Some visas are issued in country, and some aren't. Hence it's different case by case.

Do you really think I contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to talk about a tourist visa?

@Robert ******
seeing as a DTV is a FIVE YEAR visa it's a long wait for it to cancel and some consulates will not issue a new visa while you still have a valid multi-entry visa 🙁
