ORIGINAL POSTER

I'm on a one year multiple entry non-immigrant O 'volunteer' visa. I did a border run last month to renew my entry stamp, which is expiring later this month. I was wondering whether I can extend my stamp at the immigration in Chiang Mai without having to go to Mae Sai every time it expires. Thanks a lot!

IF I was a betting man I'd bet dollars to durian the place you're volunteering at will NOT be able to meet the documentation requirements for you to get an in country yearly extension of stay.

You can certainly ask them BUT I'd say just bounce out and in every 90 days on the year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa you have getting a new 90 day stmap every time you bounce. From Chiang Mai the Mae Sai - Tachiliek border with burma is closest and easiest..

Can I convert my Non-ED visa to a yearly extension based on retirement in Chiang Mai, or do I need a 90-day Non-O visa?
