Can non-immigrant O visas be extended for 30 days at immigration in Chiangmai too or is it just the tourist visa?

TLDR : Answer Summary
In Chiang Mai, only a tourist visa or Visa Exempt Entry can be extended by 30 days. Non-Immigrant O visas do not qualify for this extension. It's important to consider the specific basis for your Non-Immigrant O visa when exploring extension options.

On what basis is your Non Immigrant O visa?

Last time we heared that the Ministry of Labor in Chang Mai is given out the work permits again, but you need the documents of your organisation.

Volunteer . . . . .I was going to extend it for a year but of course now we need a work permit to extend and I can't get a work permit . . . . . .so I need to go get another one now I think, while they figure all this out.

Only a tourist Visa or the Visa Exempt Entry can be extended once with 30 days.
