ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone, I’ve 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

A user on a Non-B visa for 3 years plans to exit Thailand and re-enter on a visa-exempt basis to complete their move. Concerns were raised about potential immigration issues upon their return. Comments indicate that proper cancellation of the existing visa extension is necessary, and that proof of onward travel may be beneficial during re-entry although re-entry is likely to be fine.

If leaving by air, would he be stopped from leaving??? Would he just have trouble getting another extension if he didn't cancel this one?

you've not been on ANY visa 🙁 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
