Does anyone know if you can update your 30 day visa on the day of expiry? Or is this a risky move and could incur a fine?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can apply for a 30-day extension on your visa exempt entry stamp up to the last day it is valid. While it is possible to update your visa on the day of expiry without incurring a fine, it is recommended to apply for the extension earlier to avoid any risks.

You can apply for a 30 day extension on a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp right up to the last day your entry stamp is good for.

BUT

Seeing as they ADD the new extension to your current expiration date (meaning you don't lose any days going early) there is no reason to wait until the last day to do it.

What does UPDATE mean? If its getting a 30 days extension of stay...its OK to obtain on the final day.
