Hello! I came into Thailand on a 45 day visa exemption (set to expire Dec 3) Iโm currently in Chiang Mai and was hoping to apply for the 30 day extension while Iโm here. How early can I go in to apply for the extension? Iโve read somewhere it has to be less than 30 days before it expires. Is this correct? Thank you ๐๐ป
TLDR : Answer Summary
You can apply for a 30-day extension for your visa exemption in Chiang Mai when you have 45 days or less left on your current visa, so you can go in early without losing time. However, whether you need a TM30 receipt may depend on the specific immigration office you choose to visit.
