Hello, I just did border bounce and entry with visa exempt. My question is, since I already got 45 days + 45 days upon my arrival. Does it possible to apply for another 30 days extension? When is the soonest I can apply for this? And does the extension will starts right from the date I apply for the extension or from the last date of my current stamp? Because if its the later Im planning to do it as early as possible.

Thank you in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can apply for a 30-day extension of stay at a Thai immigration office since you've recently entered Thailand on a visa-exempt entry. The application fee is 1,900 Thai baht, and you can typically apply when you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp, though some offices may allow applications when you have up to 45 days remaining. The extension will be added to your current stamp, commencing on the date you apply for the extension.

Most immigration offices accept your application when your current stamp remains 30 days or less. Bangkok, Chaing Mai, and a few accept when you have 45 days or less. But a few offices such as Chonburi let you apply for a tourism extension only when you are in the last week.

30 days Tourism extension is added (top-up) to your stamp. You will get the same result regardless of when you apply for it.

The answer is YES as you just entered Thailand with another visa exempt entry ....

You can get a 30 day extension of stay at Thai immigration office for 1900 Thai baht.

WHEN you can apply to get the 30 day extension of stay ...

Depends on the policy of the Thai immigration office you use.

ASK your Thai immigration office.

Where are you in Thailand?
