My turn. I'm due to extend my non-imm-o visa (based on marriage) next week (Friday 17th) in Chiang Mai. Can I go do it a few days earlier or will they tell me to come back on the specific day? Hate to leave it until last minute. Have read contradicting reports (as usual) and it may vary by location. Thanks for helpful replies.
TLDR : Answer Summary
You can apply for the extension of your Non-Immigrant O Visa based on marriage up to 45 days before it expires, according to responses from others who have done the same in Chiang Mai. It's advisable to apply early rather than waiting until the last minute. However, it's important to note that the extension won't be issued immediately; it will undergo a 30-day consideration period before you return to have it officially stamped in your passport.
