Good morning, my non-B visa expires on October 31, 2025. I made an appointment through the immigration website for renewal on the 31st. Is that correct, or will the officers cause any problems if I renew it on the same day? Thank you for your clarification.

Answer summary

The user inquired about the timing for renewing their non-B visa, which expires on October 31, 2025, and whether it is advisable to renew it on the expiration date. Several comments suggest it is not ideal to wait until the last day due to potential issues with document readiness, and that it's generally recommended to apply for an extension at least 30 days prior to expiration. Users also note that some immigration offices allow applications as early as 45 days before the expiration date.

Not advisable to do it on the last day as you may need more documents

Next year you should start your planning much earlier as in Bangkok you can apply for your extension when you have 45 days or less remaining on your current stamp

There's no real need to wait until the last day and there's no need to make an appt if you don't want to

You can apply for a new extension at most all offices when you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp. You don't lose any time applying early the new extension is added to your current expiration date

Most people don't wait until the last day because when you apply if you're missing a document, or something you don't have any time left on your current stamp and will run on overstay if you can't get it sorted out that day..

Still as long as you have your ducks in a row document wise, you should be fine, you're just cutting it really REALLY close 😮 Best of luck with it (y)
