ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello everyone, a little question, I will have 3 extensions of 30 days (tourism visas) to do to immigration including that of a 10-year-old child.

Should the child also show up for immigration or is it not necessary? How long before the buffer expires should I arrive at the immigration ?

Please !

TLDR : Answer Summary
The general rule is that every individual, including children, must show up for their visa extension at immigration. It's advised to apply for an extension when you have 30 days or less remaining on your current visa stamp. Additionally, you can go to the immigration office earlier as they will add the new days to your existing visa stamp, with some offices in larger cities allowing extensions up to 45 days.

No problem going early as they’ll add the days on to your existing stamp. Most offices are 30 days. Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Buri Ram (and possibly some others) allow 45 days. Pattaya will probably send you away until you’ve only got a few days left.

everyone shows up for their extension.

You can apply for a new extension when you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp at most offices.
