How do I extend my visa exemption in Thailand, and what are the requirements?

A few questions:

1) can anyone link the website to make an appointment for the visa exemption extension?

2) has the location changed from the office near the impact shopping mall?

3) if my visa expires on the 13th can I renew my exemption on the 13th or must I go a day before?

Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about extending their visa exemption, specifically asking for the appointment website, if the office location has changed, and whether they can renew their exemption on the expiration date. Several comments indicate that appointments may not be needed, clarify that extensions can be obtained, and suggest that one can renew their exemption as long as there are 45 days left on the current visa.

In Bangkok you can go to get an extension when you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp.

I don't see appointments available for visa exempt extensions, only tourist visa extensions. As stated above, appointments are optional, correct?

@Thinley *********
just go and queue up, appointments aren't mandatory

People report they are not as busy at all right after they open again from lunch at 1PM..

@Thinley *********
There is nothing open until the 15th sorry

is the date on the stamp the last day you can go renew before being fined?

Why wait? The 30 days extension of stay is ADDED to your current ending date... which is the last day you are allowed to legally be in Thailand

Don't even think about being on OVERSTAY !

I thought they added 30 days from when you go to get your visa renewed, not from the stamp date...
