It costs more to do it in country, but you can also apply in neighoring countries - places like Penang and Vientiane are a nice trip away.

Work permit if it shows your address ia fine.

Didnt back in the day people used to use words to describe what they want.

and it connects through to Seattle 10 times a week starting Nov. 26.

EVA has had a daily direct service (not codeshare) to CNX for some years, be it interrupted by COVID at one point. And they fly to CNX because people like visiting the place.

If you're starting in Northern Thailand, why not fly direct into Chiang Mai. And EVA flies to CNX.

While not all Immigration offices did, Chiang Mai Immigration implemented the announced changes in 2020 (see link) - only need to file a TM30 on first arrival. I've not only confirmed this directly in person with them, I've filed 90 day reports in person and new extensions of stay using TM30s filed prior to having left the country multiple times.

Chiang Mai Immigration doesnt require a new TM30 whem returning from overseas if returning on the same visa/extension of stay with re-entry permission.

Consider it an adventure.
