ORIGINAL POSTER

Chiang Mai Immigration. My second Covid extension is due in two weeks, if I go early are they adding onto end of current extension or on application date. When getting my first extension it was from my application date but I have heard this might not be the case on further extensions. Also are they still doing the under consideration thing on second extensions? Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about the procedure for applying for a second COVID visa extension in Chiang Mai, specifically whether the new extension is added to the end of the current one or based on the application date. They reference their previous experience with the first extension and ask about potential delays in processing.

the way it usually works IS

If you're applying for a covid extension FROM a covid extension they add the new 60 days to your current expiration date BUT (and this is depending on the immigration office) if you are applying for a covid extension from another stamp it starts the day you apply

as long as you can prove you live in the area where you're applying <- meaning either you or the land lord filed a TM30 with the immigration office when you moved in, it shouldn't matter..
