Hello everyone!
I’m currently in Bangkok on a Tourist Visa (TR) with a single entry, which expires on December 9th. I’m planning to apply for a 30-day visa extension and was wondering about the best place to apply.
I’ve heard that the process in Bangkok is smooth and straightforward. However, I’m leaving Bangkok on December 1st and will be in Chiang Mai around the time I plan to submit my application (likely December 2nd or 3rd). I’ve also read mixed reviews about the Chiang Mai immigration office, with some people mentioning delays or even rejections.
I’d love to hear your experiences or advice on extending a Tourist Visa at these locations (or others in Thailand). Specifically:
1. Is the process easier or quicker in Bangkok vs. Chiang Mai?
2. Any tips for ensuring a successful extension?
I appreciate any insights you can share!
Thank you in advance. 🙏
