Hi everyone, Iโve been on a Non-B visa continuously for the past 3 years. My contract just ended, so I need to exit Thailand and re-enter on visa-exempt to pack my things and finish my move. If I leave and come back the next day (by air), will immigration see any issue with this?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is asking if they can exit Thailand after three years on a Non-B visa and re-enter on a visa-exempt status without facing issues at immigration. Comments suggest that while the user may be questioned for returning after a long extension period, having proof of onward travel can help mitigate potential issues.
you've not been on ANY visa ๐ you've been on yearly extensions of stays (look at your stamp)
You need to cancel that extension at the immigration office that issued it, then you can exit the country.
You might be questioned on why you're comin' back in free stamp (60 day visa exempt) after comin' off 3 years of non-B extensions but you should get in okay.
Worst case they'll ask you to prove you're leaving thailand within the 60 days you'll be stamped in for. So having proof of onward travel will help IF you're questioned when you stamp in.
I would wager you'll get in just fine.. Best of luck with it
