TLDR : Answer Summary

You should visit the immigration office a few days before your 60-day visa exemption expires to apply for a 30-day extension. It's advisable to go early in the day, as some immigration offices can get busy.

Yes, it's advisable to extend if you are planning to stay over your 60 days and go a few days before the 60 days expires..

The extension is just added onto your initial 60 days anyway..

But some immigration offices get very busy so go soon and go early in the day
