Hello,

Sorry if this is too long but I entered a few years ago on a METV and then switched to a 3 month ED Visa and then to COVID extensions after that. I haven't left the country since. I haven't ever cancelled the ED Visa before switching to COVID extensions.

My question is if my ED Visa is still active? I got the school to send me a letter saying my studies ended, if I cancel it now, does that mean I have to leave right away or my COVID permission to stay date would still be valid? I

I'm trying to switch to an elite visa but they say you must cancel it the same day you have an appointment to have the Elite Visa affixed but they can only affix it in Bangkok and I'd have to cancel my ED in another city. I have a feeling this advice is for people with a current permission to stay from an ED visa though which I no longer have. Any advice or help with this would be appreciated. Thank you.

I recently cancelled my ED visa, then went to Mae Sai to get an exempt stamp. In the meantime I've applied for Elite, but I only have a week left on my stamp.

If I were to go back to Mae Sai again, right after having been there, could that be an issue? It's very much back to back. The earlier trip was my one and only true land entry. (Aside from a land entry that was done on a re-entry permit with an ED visa in January, which I think doesn't count - I'm assuming the 2 rule only applies to exempt entries.)

Sorry for so many posts, im trying to figure out the easiest way to get time until the Elite comes.
