Hey people!
So my situation is the following. I am currently on the 30 day extension of a Visa-On-Arrival. I have the documents for a Non-O Visa, but will have to leave the country for it. As I leave the country in October anyway, I would like to get my Visa done then. That means I need another extension/ Visa-on-arrival. My questions now are: 1. Can I get another visa extension for 15 days at Chiang Mai Immigration/Promenada? or 2. Can I get a Visa on arrival at Mae Sai? I know the rule currently is, to not get more then 2 Visas on arrival per year, and technically I am only on my first one...
Any ideas??
Help is much appreciated =)
TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster is currently on a 30-day extension of a Visa-on-Arrival and is inquiring about getting another extension or a Visa-on-Arrival, as they plan to leave Thailand for a NON-O Visa in October. They seek clarification on whether they can get another extension at Chiang Mai Immigration and if they can obtain a Visa-on-Arrival when crossing at Mae Sai. Several comments address the current rules regarding visa extensions and entries, emphasizing that extensions do not count towards the two 30-day visa exemption entries allowed per year. It is also noted that the poster could still use a border run to obtain an additional 30-day stamp.
