having the extension is not a requirement for you to graduate.

immigration most likely will ask questions. But you can cancel it before time. And you are allowed to be a student on any kind of stamp/visa/extension. So just make sure to cancel it before you leave. Ask the school for an updated paper with your date of departure. Then 1-2 weeks before that go and cancel. They will cancel your stamp and make a new one valid until the end date mentioned in the paper from the school. That way you don't have to hurry with leaving. Amd if you dont cancel it you can gwt fined 20K baht in the future if trying to get another visa/extension in Thailand, for failing to cancel it.

students at my uni generally has to border bounce to tide them over until they can get the degree after graduation. The uni can help by not putting in the registration of grades etc until last minute. But that practice is questionable at best..

You most likely will have to do a border bounce very soon. To get into Thailand on another stamp or visa that lets you stay until you can figure out another long term visa if needed. It's not possible to change the ED extension to anything else in country.

@Henning *********

be careful. If you already finished all your classes and exams, you are no longer studying, and therefor not eligible for the student visa extension anymore. As soon as you stop studying, which is generally when your final grade etc is entered in the unis system, you have to cancel the extension, as the reason for the extension no longer exists.

You risk being in overstay, regardless of what date in the future the stamp in your passport say you can stay.

Talk to the school ASAP and figure out what to do. I am myself doing a bachelor's in Bangkok, and this exact issue has burned several students when approaching immigration later.

also true. It's like people actually like to stand pressed up against each other waiting for 5-10 minutes 😂

true. But then again those requiring a wheelchair often gets to be the very last to depart the aircraft. First in, last out. Unless you need the chair I don't think it's a viable hack for regular travelers 😂🙏

@Chris ********

no. Read the whole thread under the comment. You need an account that is regionally tied to Thailand. So either you need to change your accounts region or create another account with Thailand as region. Then switch between the accounts as needed.

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

yes just added that 🙏

while it seems more tedious on iphone, you only actually need that second ID to find and install the app. Then you can switch it back, so that all your nornal apps will get updates etc.. Just keep the thai ID dormant unless you need it to install something
