Chiang Mai online appointments for extensions

Have they removed marriage extensions as an option to book schedules ?? I dont see marriage as a possibility to book ?

2nd one.. They are listing e-extensions on the CM immigration website but I believed that was only bangkok VFS not CM VFS (the website seems a little unclear).

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the removal of the marriage extension option from the Chiang Mai online appointment booking system, as noted by multiple commenters confirming its absence. Additionally, there is confusion regarding the availability of e-extensions, with questions raised about whether they are accessible through the Chiang Mai VFS or only in Bangkok. Clarifications indicate that Chiang Mai has removed the family visa extension, with only a few categories remaining available for online appointments.

- yes the Family Visa Extension category was axed about 2 months ago by CM IO but not by any other IO's . The 4 categories they still offer online appointments for are very few and are one and half hours long now according to the site that is. Yesterday I was advised by a TV Forum admin to message CM IO , which I did. I can only hope I receive a favourable reply as I never got one to an email I sent a month ago and they never pick up their phones.

unless I'm mistaken now you can get eExtensions at ANY immigration office (or at least at most of them) thru the VFS website (although they still only offer 9 categories for eExtension)

I was looking around on it and was able to select most of the offices in the drop down based on where I said I was in thailand

thats the old address I used in the past (and have in my email history) I know they have a 'new' site but a redirect takes minutes for IT staff to set up.. That was my point really.
