Where To Get Tourist Visa In Chiang Mai?

[scottc]

Hi, I am new to Chiang Mai, Thailand and my 30 day visa has about 2 weeks left. Where can I get a Tourist Visa extension? Is there a place in Chiang mai I can go to or do I need to

go to the border near Burma? I prefer to pay a little extra if there is a place here in Chiang Mai I can go to and just get it done, rather than take a bus trip to the border. But

if the border is where it is done, I'll go there.

Thanks...

No Tourist Visas in Thailand, you would have to apply at a Consulate outside of Thailand, Laos and Cambodia are popular. May be possible to get a 7 day extension for 1900 Baht and likely need to show a ticket for onward travel.

You don't have a visa, you have a visa exempt stamp good for 30 days.

You will get seven days at immigrations in Chiang Mai.

14 days at exit/enter Thailand at land border.

30 days at exit/enter Thailand via plane.

Tourist visas are available at consulates in Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia.

Tourist visas gives you 60 days on entering and can be extended at immigration with 30 days.

Vientiane in Laos and Phnom Penh will give you double entry visas.

If utilized correctly will give you 180 days in the Kingdom

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I guess it is a visa exempt stamp for 30 days.

PoorSucker made it clear. You can get a new entry permission for two weeks at Mae Sai. Mae Sai is in the North of Chiang Rai, along the border to Burma.

Thanks for the link, very usefull. However, the EU countries appear to be listed as 90 days in this ThaiVisa website, am I reading that correctly?

There is also a link the the MFA website (http://www.mfa.go.th/internet/document/ChartVisa.pdf) which lists this more clearly.

Are you referring to the list on the far right under Diplomatic/Official Passports?

Errr... yes, sorry. Not far right,m but under 1.

Under 2., for holders of ordinary passports, there is no listing of EU countries, that why the country names under 1. caugfht my attention.

Anyway, it is alwasys better to look at the official sights, and the MFA clarified this.

The MFA list might be more clearly, but it is not up to date.

You are cofusing me now. The list on ThaiVisa does not say that EU citizens can enter the country for 30 days without visa, but the MFA list does.

Where/how is the MFA list not up-to-date?

The ThaiVisa link you provided refers to this link for the information I think you are looking for. http://www.thaivisa.com/479.0.html

The link you provided, under the heading "Exemption of Visa Requirements" requirements is referring to "concluded agreements", not the same thing, and covered under a different Police Order Provision if I'm not mistaken.

I was talking about the list for mutual agreements onl, as that was where you were asking about (who get 30 days at land borders). Beechguy gives you another list, which inlcudes visa exempt entry and visa on arrival.

But the visa chart from the MFA is not updated, as changes has been made. You can see that Russians on there are still listed under both visa on arrival and visa exempt and there have been a few other changes, which have been incorperated in the list on the Thaivisa webiste.

Visa exempt entry is for specific countries, not all EU memberstates are inlcuded.
