ORIGINAL POSTERHi everyone,
For the 30 day extension at immigration, how far in advance can I get this added on? For example, I'm on the 60 day tourist (from UK) with final day at end of Oct, can I add the extension just now taking it to end of Nov? Or do I need to do it closer to the end of my current visa? Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

They add on the days so no downside to going early. (There’s an echo in here 😀)

At most offices you can go when you have 30 days or less left.
In Bangkok, Phuket at Chiang Mai you can go when you have 45 days left.
