How early can you apply to extend a 30 day visa exempt entry at Laksi? Do you have to wait a certain number of days?

TLDR : Answer Summary
You can apply for an extension of your 30-day visa exempt entry at the Laksi Immigration Office anytime within those 30 days. The extension will be added to the end of your current stamp. It is recommended to make an appointment online prior to your visit and to bring printed hard copies of necessary documents such as your passport, visa entry stamp, TM30 receipt, and appointment confirmation. You will need to complete the TM7 form, along with an additional form that is available at Laksi.

I did this a week or two ago. I recommend making an appointment online. You’ll need printed hardcopies of everything (passport, visa entry stamp, TM30 receipt, appointment confirmation email) in addition to your passport. You won’t get any of the hardcopies back, so make extras if you want them. You can download the TM7 form and fill it out, but there’s a second form you’ll need to fill out also - not sure of the form number, but it’s quick and it and the TM7 are available at Laksi.

Seems like everyone's experience is a bit different. I only had to fill out two forms. It's Thailand, you've just got to go with the flow.

if they see one in the system from a hotel or elsewhere they won't require, but if they don't see one in the system they will.

At Laksi you can do it anytime you want in those 30 days. The extension is added on to the end of your current stamp.
