Can I extend my Visa on Arrival in Chiang Mai and where should I go?
Sorry if this has been asked many times, but I am finding the information hard to follow. I arrived to Chiang Mai on a visa on arrival tourist visa on the 15th March and my visa is up on the 13th April. Can I extend it online or which immigration office deals with this at the moment? I heard I'd need to go to the one by the airport?
I have a Finnish passport.
REALLY appreciate if someone has the time to help with some advice <3

>Can I extend [my visa exempt] online
No, visas and extensions of stays can not be extended online
>which immigration office deals with this at the moment
That would be the airport office
You will apply for an extension of stay based on being a tourist, which will cost 1,900 THB and will NOT require a letter from the embassy.

fantastic, highly appreciated 😄🙏Robert *******
At least you are in Thailand and have something in your passport with a date of 13 April 2020.
You visit the Immigration Office in Chang Mai and apply for the 30 day Extension of Stay.
You have a 30 day Visa Exempt Entry as it is called.
Confusion comes from mixing a Visa on Arrival, a Visa Exempt Entry and a Tourist Visa in one sentence, as mentioned a visa on arrival tourist visa.
