Hi there :) 

Does anyone know how early we can apply for visa extension in Chiang Mai at the Festival Mall? 

We are on a 60 day multiple entry Tourist visa, arrived on 4th November. Stamp expire 2nd January.

We're flying back to Bangkok 10th December, and was hoping we could do it here in Chiang Mai. 

Im hearing conflicting info. Anything from 15 days before, to 30 and 45 days. 

Norwegian and Philipines nationals, E-visas issued from the Netherlands (where we live)

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can apply for a 30-day extension of stay in Chiang Mai within 45 days before your current stamp's expiration date. In your case, since your stamp expires on 2nd January, the latest you can apply is by around mid-December.

I believe that Chiang Mai allows you to apply for the 30 days extension of stay within 45 days of your current STAMPED in ending date.

This is a list of common found requirements for the 30 days extension... The days are ADDED to your current ending date.
