Hi everyone. I just received my Thai citizenship and have made my Thai ID and passport. I'm wondering what the procedure is concerning my visa extension based on marriage stamped in my American passport. It expires in mid October. I've been told that if I cancel it, or if I don't leave the country before it expires using my Thai passport (on leaving and re entering) that I could be charged for overstaying. I have no problem leaving before it expires. The Ministry of Interior told me to check with immigration, which I did. But I received conflicting info. The first officer said I should cancel my extension, but another officer who overheard us (not sure if she was the superior officer) said that I would be charged for overstay and should leave and re enter using my Thai passport. It's all a bit confusing and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this. Sorry for the long post. Any advice is appreciated.
