TLDR : Answer Summary

There have been updates regarding volunteer visas in Chiang Mai indicating that the labor office is issuing work permits again, but they are currently only valid for three months at a time. As long as the work permit is valid and current, extensions should be fine.

This is Thailand? That's all I know. They are also scrutinizing paperwork a lot closer, and have been asking for documents they haven't in times past. Your organization should be aware of what they want by now.

Labor office has been issuing work permits again, but only for three months at a time, so far. Extension should be fine if WP is valid and current.
