I went to CM immigration today to extend my visa based on marriage (60 days). Was on a Non-b, then 2 covid visas which runs out early March. They said if I change the visa to a 60 family extension early I would lose my time beforehand. So for CM, go close to your visa expiration date otherwise you'll lose time. They also did not provide a list of what is needed for the family 60 day extension.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shared their experience at Chiang Mai immigration when trying to extend their visa based on marriage. They learned that applying for a new visa type (60-day family extension) early means you lose the remaining time on your current visa. It's advised to go to immigration close to your visa expiration date to avoid losing days. The immigration office did not provide a list of required documents for the family extension.

This is great information Steven, thank you

Thank you for the report.

It's rather a standard process at most immigration offices that your new extension starts on the day of application, not added when you apply for a new extension for a different reason from the current stamp.

Would be great to have a list of requirements, seems very discretionary. Going off the list from Chiang Rai and Phuket. Which are similar

for the 60 day visit family extension they usually require everything that office wants for a marriage visa EXCEPT the bank book, bank letter
