Hi! We’re planning to stay 90 days in Thailand. We will have 60 days on arrival, can we ask for the 30day extension right away after arrival or we need to wait a certain number of days to go to the immigration office?

TLDR : Answer Summary

You cannot apply for a 30-day extension immediately upon arrival in Thailand. Most immigration offices allow applications when you have 30 days or less remaining; some may allow it when you have 45 days left. However, in places with stricter policies, you may only apply when 7 days or less remain on your visa.

At most immigration offices you can apply when you have 30 days or less left. A few will allow you to apply when you have 45 days or less left (Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Phuket to name the bigger ones), and some will only let you apply when you have 7 days or less left (Pattaya, Koh Samui, Koh Phangnga)

30 days is going to be your safest bet unless you're in a place that limits you to 7 days. But nowhere will accept your application for an extension immediately upon your arrival.

Depends on which Immigration Office you will use. Each office has their own requirements.
