Hi 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

if you have the 60 day tourist visa (not an exempt entry) you go to Chaengwattana government complex. Counter J

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.
