I came here in March on a 60-day tourist visa and extended in my base, Chiang Mai another month (good until June).
I then border bounced to Laos in June (from Chiang Kong) before extending another month in Chiang Mai (good until August).
I thought I was going to receive a work permit, but it fell through so I went to the Mae Sae border in August (thanks to the help of this group) to get another 30-day tourist visa (good until September).
I know this is not cool at all. I am in the process of getting a work permit with my new job. I am wondering if I can extend one more month at Chiang Mai immigration while my papers for my work permit process or if I am out of luck (maybe there is another option).
Passport is American.
I appreciate you taking the time to read this and thank you for the help!
