Hi

I need some very quick help.

I've been on an ED visa since August 2014 and have done several extensions. Current one lasts up to 14 June 2015 (this Sunday). first time I've been on this type of visa so I'm a bit unaware of the requirements.

I want to go Savannakhet and get a Tourist Visa. Plan to go on Thursday (leave Wednesday). Last time I went (when I got this ED Visa) it was same day service. I just saw a thread that it's now next day collection, Thursday is therefore the last day I can apply.

Just saw another thread about possibility of a cancellation letter being required from your school, although this was for Nong Khai crossing.

So do I need a cancellation letter for Mukdahan crossing over to Savannakhet or can I just cross as normal?

Really appreciation info asap so I can get letter if needed.

Thanks guys

So far only Nong Khai requires the cancellation letter

Thanks Mario for your quick response. That's put my mind at rest. Good to go.

Just seen your comment on another current thread on ending an ED visa.

You mention that you can do a border run. You seem to imply that you can still do one as long as they not back to back is this right? I didn't realise I may be able to still do this. It could be another short term option for me as my plans are liquid at present.

I've been in thailand about 2 years now. Initially on a mix of Tourist Visa from Lao and Visa exempt from Cambodia and currently an ED Visa. Am I still able to do a visa exempt border run in this situation? Is it still O.K to do this on ending my ED visa and will I still need no letter as long as I don't cross in Nong Khai, but Savannakhet or Cambodia?

The only restriction on getting a visa exempt entry is being on a exempt entry then trying to get another one.

O.K Mario,

Thanks, appreciate your quick and knowledgable help.

You need to go to Immigration office first, can be in your city or one close to the border, on a weekday office hours, show the letter that you finish school at date... (should be the date of THAT day or pay overstay). Then they cancel your visa and give you some time to go to the border.

I could NOT stamp out at the border just by showing the letter from the school. If you do this on the weekend you are stuck.
