@Jeremy *******

, again you show yourself as someone with no clue of how the laws work in Thailand. There are hundreds if not thousands of laws never been enforced. They call it "activated" or "deactivated". Even if a law is adopted by the parliament, it still needs to be activated by the government. And they can also deactivate it (again). For the TM30 this is exactly what has happened over the years: It was activated and then deactivated partly again. The much related TM28 has been almost entirely deactivated.

, true, the mentioned situation can only happen on a multiple entry visa. Years ago I was on a multiple Non-O on the ground of marriage and at least at that time I got a sticker at the embassy telling me a lot of restrictions including having no right to enter Thailand at all just because having a visa and this story about the need to cancel the visa in case of death or divorce. I was actually a little terrified, that is why I remember it clearly and asked the officer what that actually meant, and she just said: Dont worry, nothing happens, they will let you in for sure :-)

@Brandon ***********

, but you still cannot get another visa until your current visa has expired or been canceled. If true, then my example of leaving your school prematurely because you got a nice job will not be possible until your ED visa has expired. Or how?

@Brandon ***********

, I know ppl are saying that a visa and an extension have different rules about cancellation, but at least the Embassy in my home country says differently. Also, if a visa cannot be canceled at all, then a number of strange situations will arise. Let s say you are on an ED visa and then leave school prematurely to attend a job. Now, if your ED visa cannot be cancelled you cannot get your Non-B visa for working.

Each Immigration their rules. But according to more or less official statements returning to the same permanent address doesn't even take an update of the TM30:

@Richard *******

, a condominium, yes, I think I have stated that also. But nothing else.

It is pretty clear with all kinds of visas also the LTR that if the ground of issuing the visa to you is no longer present, then your visa will no longer be valid. Nothing might happen in real life, because they don't know if nobody telling them.

@Todd ********

, but again don't do it blindfolded, and pls don't mislead people to do it blindfolded.

@Todd ********

, if your idea of buying property in Thailand is to make money, then calculate the risk and make your decision. Without knowing the risk of different solutions you are making blindfolded decisions.

@Todd ********

, most ppl buying properties in Thailand are doing it to stay in their property. It is an investment also done by millions of ordinary non-business ppl around the world.
