ORIGINAL POSTER
Quick question, doubtless it's been asked many times previously for which I'm apologise.

I'm in Phuket, here on a Tourist Visa that expires 10th Sept. When/how early should I approach the Immigration office about the possible 30 day extension.

TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about when to approach the immigration office in Phuket regarding a possible 30-day extension for their Tourist Visa, which expires on 10th September. According to comments, it is recommended to go to the immigration office up to 45 days before the expiry date, and doing so early will not disadvantage you as it will simply add on to your existing stamp. The user can visit either the Phuket town office or the Patong office for this process.

You can use either the Phuket town office (room 101) to the left of the staircase or the Patong office. I’m yet to see a confirmation that the Blue Tree office does TR extensions.

Phuket allow 45 days prior to expiry. No disadvantage by going early as it’ll be added on to your existing stamp.
