What should I do if my visa expires today and I need to leave Thailand soon?

Ben *****

I'm pretty sure you need to cancel the original visa (I think you're on an ED ) if you have plans to stay in thailand long term later on. My buddy was in a similar situation as you, canceled his visa last week at CW and is in Lao now for a month. I'm not sure why you would transfer an expired visa to a new passport though.

What can I do if I am being held at the Thailand border for not having an outgoing flight?

Ben *****

Seems you've been in thailand for a good year or so on covid extensions, tourist visas and/or visa exemptions. You probably should look into a more long term visa option or go back to the states for a few months.

What are the risks of frequent border hopping in Thailand without a long-term visa?

Ben *****

If you're under 50 get an ED visa and learn the language, thatll give you a full year or more. If you're 50 or over, get a retirement visa.
