TLDR : Answer Summary

The current requirements for passport photos at immigration in Chiang Mai include a size of 4x6 cm with either a blue or white background. Some users reported successfully using both colors, although recent experiences suggest that white is preferred. If photos are not available, there are facilities nearby that can provide them on-site.

Just an update - I used 4x6 blue and had no issues. Arrived at immigration at ~8:20 and was finished around 9:45. Was there for tourist visa extension. Was busy but not too crazy. Thanks everyone

4x6 with a blue background. If you don't have them the copy shop next to immigration can do them for you.

I was rejected for blue a year ago. That's why I'm here asking. They change the rules at random
