no worries, I also had the same worries when I found out but looks like it can be sorted out although it is always better to cancel before leaving which we can do next time now that we know
I also didn’t realise I had to cancel my extension of stay and left before the expiry date but my school said I can cancel when I come back and that there shouldn’t be any issues since I wasn’t aware I had to do it and they have had similar cases with other students and I also left before the extension of stay expired.
okay, thank you. I will definitely have a return flight booked back to England and I did extend my education visa once at the 90 day mark the last time I was there since it was a 6 month visa so that stamp is in my passport. I didn’t realise how strict they can be. I understand that some people don’t have issues whereas others do, it just depends on the immigration officer.
ah okay, I understand there are other non immigrant visas that I could look into. Hopefully it’ll be okay with the time away and with all the documents and proof I’ll have
I normally take at least 15k baht in cash so that should be okay but yes like you said, it depends on the IO. They were a little annoyed with my last visit on the visa exemption which I changed into an education visa, when my return flight was to Malaysia as proof of departure, but I think that is because I had only left a month earlier so maybe they thought why did I return so quickly.
