ORIGINAL POSTER

My Visa expires today. I've been trying to get to the Immigration in Chiang Rai for 3 days to get an Extension but it's just not possible with the flooding. We've been evacuated and safe but there is just no way to make it to the Immigration Office, every bridges is closed. What's my options here? Of course, I will be making my way to Immigration as soon as I can reach their office.

Maybe a couple days overstay which they will take from your 30 day extension and if it’s flooded I’m sure they’ll make an exception but I’d get on a motorbike and attempt to make my way there

You could and can easily access Immigration in Chiang Rai, if you’re north of the river, you go to the Mai Sai office if you’re south of the river you go to the office in Central Plaza

few weeks ago you told that you have an Extension of Stay based on education, so why not ask the school what to do as they provide the documents for a new period of stay.

alternative is doing a border run or even a visa run.

Why not give them a phone call and ask?

Calling immigration is about as useful as calling the president. Good luck sorting it that way

best solution so far. And don't forget to write down the name of the officer who gives you the informational, so you can quote him for proof.
