TLDR : Answer Summary
If the immigration office is closed on the date your tourist visa expires, you can go the next day without facing an overstay fine, as long as you apply for the extension right after they reopen.

Just go early as it will be packed after the holiday period!

you are in luck. (y)

If the immigration office is closed (weekend or holiday) on the date your current stamp expires AND you go the very next day they're open you don't pay overstay and you can get your extension like normal.

Just so you know there is no reason to wait until your current stamp almost expires because they ADD the 30 day extension to your existing expiration date.
