What are the latest changes to the retirement visa renewal process at the Chiang Mai Immigration Department?
I'm going to the Chiang Mai Immigration Department soon to renew my retirement visa; it's been going smoothly for the past nine years. Does anyone know if there are any new policies or changes this year? Thank you🙏🏻

There are some new indemnity forms different from last year which need signing. Check them out beforehand as they are quite different.

you will experience a big surprise, because you cannot get your visa extended. You can only get your stay permit extended 😎 🤓
