TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on whether they can apply for a COVID extension for their visa, which expires on January 30th, on January 19th, as they are unavailable on other days. The comments confirm that they can apply early, but the new extension will start immediately, causing them to lose days from their current visa. Some users pointed out challenges, such as varying leniency at different immigration offices.

Has anyone had an experience of doing this in Koh Samui? I understand some immigration offices aren’t being as lenient nowadays.

Yes you can go this week but you will lose the days on your current visa. The covid extension takes effect immediately

It is hit/miss I got the Covid ext @ CW BKK 2 weeks ago. I went in 5 days early but they added it to the end of my existing Extension not from the day I went in.
