ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello All,

I went to immigration in Chiang Mai today for the final extension of my education visa. All went well but it was packed, I am assuming due to the holiday coming up on Monday. I believe they announced they are opening early tomorrow to accommodate the excess.

Just wanted to drop the update in case anyone is heading that way tomorrow. I got there at 12:30 and left at 4:30๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Pro tip: order Food Panda once the queue is about 15-20 numbers away from yours and dinner is served just before you are ready to leave ๐Ÿ˜‚

(Food Panda doesn't delivery to my part of town so I have to get creative ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Enjoy the holiday weekend โฃ๏ธ

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shares their recent experience at the immigration office in Chiang Mai for their education visa extension, noting the long wait times due to an upcoming holiday. They suggest arriving early, as the office opens at 6 AM, and recommend ordering food from Food Panda while waiting to make the experience more pleasant. The post aims to help others prepare for their visit during peak times.

Thanx, CM immigrations opens at 6AM (that's when they start letting people in) I think they start serving people at 6:30..
