Hi there, could you just remind me please, is it OK for me to go to Chiang Mai immigration any time in the last 30 days of a 60-day stamp to buy an extension (final extension of a 6-month METV), or do I have to wait until there are fewer than 15 days remaining?

Also, if I can bother you, could you re- post that greenish pdf with instructions on what to take to immigration to get a renewal please?

TLDR : Answer Summary
You can apply for a visa extension at Chiang Mai immigration as long as you have 45 days or less remaining on your current stamp. However, the specific required documents may vary, so it's advisable to check with the immigration office for the most current requirements.

Thanks all for your helpful replies.

You can, as the Chiang Mai office accepts extension applications when you have 45 days or less remaining with your stamp.

I don't know what documents you mean by "greenish pdf". Attached is the "general" information on tourism extension, and it's not a PDF file. CM might require differently.

thanks but yes, it ended in late January, and I got a 60-day stamp on re-entering the day before it ended.

has the 6 months validity of the METV already ended?

If not , you can do border bounce and get New 60 Day STAMP.
