Posting this for a mate.

 

He's been living in Thailand with his girl, both of em on a ED visa connected to a 4-year uni. Had a bit of a medical emergency and both of em stopped attending classes about a month ago. They've both gone back to her country now. She's going to stay there. He's coming back to attend to their lease and close out his visa, then return to her country where they will stay indefinitely and probably never return to Thailand. His ED visa is set to expire in August.

 

Should he expect any problems or fines related to his visa? Would the school contact immigration and inform them that he was not attending class? What's the best way for him to proceed?

 

Thanks in advance for all advice.

Your friend should contact the university and find out what they have done with respect to his absence. They may have caused his extension of stay for studying to be revoked as of some date. Worst case, this could mean that he is liable for some overstay fines (from the date his permission to stay was revoked to the day he left Thailand).

He should enter the country using a tourist visa, for safety, not using any re-entry permit associated with his previous extension for attending university which may no longer be valid.
