My 60 days tourist visa expires on Sunday 23rd January.

Am I right that I can go to immigration on Monday 24th to apply for my 30 days extension of stay without having to pay an overstay fine ?

I've read that I will get an overstay stamp in my passport anyway , that's correct ?

Is such a stamp likely to cause any problem with future applications for a new visa or extensions ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about applying for a 30-day extension of their tourist visa on the day after it expires, confirming that doing so would not result in an overstay fine. Responses clarified that while they could apply on January 24, they would receive an overstay stamp, which should not affect future visa applications.

Correct

You will not have any problems with future applications for a new visa or extension with that overstay stamp (to my knowledge).

There is NO benefit for you to wait until Monday to apply for the 30 day extension of stay based on tourism. This extension of stay is added to your existing stamp.
