Just returned to Chiang Mai on a 30 day Visa exempt. Previously lived here on a Non Immigrant OA and extensions and wish to change to Non Immigrant O Visa for retirement. How soon can I go to Immigration to present my documents. Is it 15 days or less?.
Answer summary
After returning to Chiang Mai on a 30-day visa exempt, you must wait at least 15 working days (or 21 calendar days) from your last entry stamp before applying for a Non Immigrant O Visa for retirement.

You need to have at least 15 WORKING days (21 calendar days) or MORE with your current stamp to be able to apply for an in-country visa in Chiang Mai. Go as soon as possible.

This is a brief summary of the in-country application process.

Be aware that you have to have a specific number of days "or MORE" with your stamp for an initial in-country visa application, but you need to have "or less" for an extension.
