I have read that can not extend during the last 7days

Is it true?🤔

Can I still extend my stay (pay 1900.-)

as it’s show on the stamp on my passport that my last day stay is 9th February 2023?

#as I have flight from bkk flying back to my country on 19th,

so I don’t what to get out of Thailand and come back to take my flight.

*come with free visa*

*Never extend at local immigration

* fly out and back from Laos once

you should be able to walk in at IT Square. If there is a lot of people, you may have a long wait. Get there as early as you can. They were opening at 8:30 this month.

Then you can apply for an extension of stay for 30 days up to and including the 9th of February. Doing it early has no downside as they add on the 30 days to your existing date.

For visa exempt entries in Bangkok you go to IT Square. From reports online I see that it’s available for walk in. There is seemingly a limit of 300 a day but reports on here suggest that if you get there by 9.30 you’ll be good to go. Probably better to do so by 8.30 but I do not have direct knowledge of that office.

I have checked for IT square, but there are non available appointments for next week.

I might go to Pathumthani or Nonthabuti immigrations

(Have searched for these nearby immigrations in the group but no one talk about it 😂😂)
