Can I get a 30-day extension of my tourist visa at the Chiang Mai immigration office like at Pai?

Is it possible to get a 30 days extension (with or without letter) if there has been an application for extension in April but only with 1 stamp from BKK immigration saying: "issued 1 April, application of stay under consideration.....contact again in person 23 apr 2020" and then the amnesty went on.

Good reason to go to Pai, what kind of documents do you need there?

I'm glad I got my extension the day before the amnesty!

For others my Australian embassy issued me a letter, despite saying they won't on there website. It's not a sure thing though, if you have had an extension before they have been knocking people back even with a letter.

What we are seeing is that some immigration offices ARE indeed allowing a 30 day extension (on both a 30 day visa exempt and/or a 60 day tourist visa entry) IF you never got it and instead entered and went directly to amnesty.

Unfortunately, not every office is doing it, and the offices that are doing it are not all starting the extension as effective the 26th of Sept (some are doing it effective the date you apply and telling people to come back closer to this current amnesty expiring).

The only sound advice (and I know it's not all that helpful) is to check with your specific immigration office to see exactly what they do and how they are handling it.:( :/

So @Pai you can get 30 days extension till 26 Oct ??

Mae Hong Son immigration are doing exactly as you say, giving extensions up to 26 October, because they are interpreting "amnesty" as a postponement of the expiry of your visa until 26 September, which means you are entitled to an extension beyond that as long as you have not already had one. I'm astonished there has not been a stampede of tourists up to Pai. Check in guesthouse, get TM30'd, get extension, job done, back to Chiang Mai or wherever.

At the moment we see Extension of Stay stamps until 26 Sep, or Under Consideration until half Sep, but the back ground information, why these stamps are applied for and what is the visa history fails.

All we can say, go for it and good luck

Good luck
