ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, everyone. I have two children and they have Education VISA. I am currently in Thailand on a Guardian VISA under my elder kids. And we deicide to leave Thailand. So we need to cancel our VISAs.

But my elder kids will go back to our home country 3weeks earlier than me and younger one. But I understand we need to cancel before leaving Thailand  and once we cancel the VISA for elder kids my VISA will be also canceled since my visa is under elder kids'.

If my understanding is correct, what can I do for my VISA? I don't have deposit any more in the Bank account in Thailand. I need to do VISA run? Or I can move my Gurdian VISA to my younger one?

Thank you for your kind advice in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is a guardian of two children with Education Visas in Thailand. They're planning to leave but need to cancel their visas. The elder child's early departure will also affect the user's Guardian Visa. Since the user no longer has the required bank deposit, moving the Guardian Visa to the younger child is not an option. The advice given suggests canceling the current extension and possibly exiting and re-entering Thailand for a visa-exempt 30-day stay.

Unfortunately for you if your child in school (that you have the guardian visa under) cancels their ED extension, then your extension will have to be cancelled too at that time. 😕

You said you don't have the 500K baht in the bank anymore so there is no option of moving the guardian extension to the other child. 😕

You would cancel your current extension, then exit/re-enter the country to get a free 30 day visa exempt entry stamp (if you're a nationality that gets those when entering thailand). That will give you 30 days

Can I cancel my education visa before leaving Thailand instead of extending it?
