Hi, i am enquiring obo my son. He will be doing visa run to Cambodia on 7th Sep. He needs to cancel his current ED visa before he does the visa run. He will be going to immigration on Monday, 5th. There will be a 2 day delay before he does visa run. How do you get around this? Will immigration cancel visa effective Monday 5th and he must leave country or do they at least give you a few days to leave and if so is there a cost involved?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the process for their son to cancel his current Education (ED) visa before a visa run to Cambodia, which is scheduled for September 7. They are uncertain about the repercussions of cancelling the visa on September 5, particularly regarding how immigration will handle the cancellation—whether it will be effective immediately or if there is a grace period—and if there are any associated costs. Several comments suggest options regarding obtaining a termination paper from the school to denote a later cancellation date and inquire about the specific type of visa run being undertaken.

What kind of Visa Run is your son doing ?

Is he getting a new visa from the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh?

OR bouncing out and in with a Border Run to Cambodia ?

@Poe *********

is he going alone or with a border run service? The Border he crosses may have differing rules for re-entry from CAMBODIA.

Why doesn't he take a paper from the school saying his last day is the 7th of Sept. In Bangkok you can cancel an extension up to 2 weeks before the paperwork says the last day is and they stamp you in until that date.

So either get the school to write the end of study paper saying it's the 7th OR if they cancel it effective the day he shows up (the 5th) he could get an application for extension denied 7 day stamp to get out of thailand in a week for 1900baht.

the termination date from school is 12th and he went to immigration last week because his extension of stay expired last week and they extended stay in line with cancellation letter from school. Immigration officer said he must come back to cancel because if they cancelled that day it would immediately effective. He then paid fee to extend until 12th.
