TLDR : Answer Summary
The user plans to leave Thailand with an expiring education visa on February 24, 2025, and seeks guidance on whether they need to formally cancel their education visa. Commenters suggest that the need for cancellation depends on whether the user is on an initial visa or an extension of stay.

 If you’re on the original visa entry (not on an extension of stay) then just by leaving your visa is cancelled. You don’t need to - nor can you cancel it prior to departure.

Depends on whether you actually have a visa (initial visa) or you have an “extension of stay”. Check the stamp in your passport

If the latter it needs to be cancelled. The former cancels itself when you leave.
