November 30, 20232 yr Where should I go now to get a stamp? I'm getting a yearly retirement visa but need a stamp first (my extension stamp ends Dec. 4.) I have the original entry stamp by plane and one extension from Immigration. Thanks.
November 30, 20232 yr Fly out of Thailand return to any nearby country and you'll get a stamp (30 days) upon your Thai return. Border runs will also get you 30 days. It would be helpful to know what country your passport is, how long you have been in Thailand, previous Thai visas, border runs etc.

I have the original entry stamp by plane and one extension from Immigration. Thanks. Have Zero idea of what you are typing about. What visa did you enter Thailand on. Perhaps a ME Non O ? A single entry non O with 12 month extension. If the later why would you need to exit Thailand to obtain an extension
November 30, 20232 yr Border runs are cheap and will likely give you an additional 30 days stay. This is long enough to change your tourist entry/border run to an O visa and then to the yearly retirement stay. For the retirement stay you will need to have cash in a Thai bank and/or money incoming. You should visit an immigration office and get the proper info from them.

The OP needs sensible post (he did not provide one. Thinking he meant this... " I entered Thailand visa exempt and obtained 30 day extension which expires Dec 4. I need to exit Thailand and return visa exempt inorder to obtain a Non O retirement at immigration. Subsequently a 12 month extension" Heaps of threads on this. The OP vague at best.
November 30, 20232 yr Author Sorry; that bus trip to Mesai was real exhausting. I entered Thailand by air from abroad as a visa exampt then (as i said) got that extended at Immigration. the stamp expires Dec. 4. I think I'l fly to Udon thani, get a stamp & back to Ch Mai. I have a deadline to meet as well. I'll go in a day or 2.
November 30, 20232 yr Author And I have a visa company to deal with the retirement visa but they need 20 days min. left on the stamp (as Im sure you know).

CM requires 21days remaining on stamp. Unfamiliar with agents that can obtain non retirement and subsequent extension in CM. Please report back your explain the future. Good luck
December 1, 20232 yr 14 hours ago, cubism001 said: Where should I go now to get a stamp? Go to the exit in Chiang Saen. It’s right up near the Golden Triangle. It’s 100 baht for the boat over and 70 baht to get back. The Lao visa is $40 US or they quoted me 2000 baht. Also bring 1 photo. When you return to Thailand they might want to see 10,000 baht, they have a little print out of what you need to show when you return. Also there is a taxi stand right next to the immigration office and they advertise rides to Chiang Rai.
December 1, 20232 yr Chiang Khong is 100 km from Chiang Rai and 300 km from Chiang Mai. Easy access from both.
