My school hasn't been able to prepare all the necessary documents for me to be able to apply for an extension of stay in time. My current extension of stay will expire on the 9th of October. Is it possible to ask for a 30-day extension while I wait for the school to get everything in order?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the possibility of obtaining a 30-day extension while their school prepares necessary documents for a visa extension. Community responses clarify that there are no 30-day extensions available for those on employment-related extensions. They emphasize the importance of securing documents in time to avoid overstaying and the associated fines.

Nope, as

said, there are no 30 day extensions for people on extensions based on employment. You either get the documents in time to apply for your extension BEFORE your current one runs out OR you end up on overstay <- If you are going to get the documents in just a few days after your current extension expires you can just overstay a few days, pay the 500 baht a day fine and then get your extension like normal,.

You definitely need to talk to your employer about this because in Chiang Mai you can apply for an extension when you have 45 days left on your current one. There is NO reason they ran the clock out on you without giving you paperwork for your extension

There is no 30days extension based on working. Applying 1year extension then being accepted/granted or denied.
