Hi all 

Asking for some advice 

My visa 60 day visa on Arrival ends march 1st 

My monthly accommodation ends February 16th and I want to extend to March 16th in accommodation 

To do this I would need a 30 day visa extension 

Is it possible to get a 30 day extension before the last week of my visa running out or how does this work 

Thank you very much

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on extending their 60-day visa on arrival which ends on March 1st, while their current accommodation extends until March 16th. They want to know if it's possible to apply for a 30-day extension before the last week of their visa. Responses indicate that while there is no 60-day visa on arrival (they likely used a free entry stamp), it is possible to apply for a 30-day extension at the local immigration office anytime before the visa expires, varying by location.

When you can go depends on where you are applying.

Most province immigration offices allow you to apply when you have 30 days or less left. Some larger provinces (Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai) allow 45 days or less left.

And a few only allow you to go during your final week, like Jomtien/Pattaya, Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.

make sure you go to the correct office. If you entered with a tourist visa that you applied for and paid for, you go to Chaeng Watthana.

If you entered without any visa and received a free 60 day visa exempt stamp, then you go to IT Square Laksi office.

No such thing as a 60-day Visa On Arrival. I'm guessing you entered on a free entry stamp. Go to your local immigration office and get a 30-day extension. You can go anytime

You don't actually have a visa. You have a free entry stamp. You can go up to 30 days before the stamp expires, except in Jomtien where you must go within the last seven days
