60 day TR runs out on 22 April, want to extend for the extra 30 days, leaving on 16th may. Given Songkran and closure of immigration office in Nakhon Sawan for most of the week before. How much in advance can I go there to get the extension, think I read somewhere 3 weeks? The week after Songkran is probably leaving it too late and may well be somewhere else in Thailand that week anyway

Thanks for the info

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks advice on how early they can request a visa extension for an upcoming 60-day tourist visa (TR) that expires on April 22, planning to leave on May 16. They are concerned about the Songkran holidays affecting the immigration office's availability and note conflicting information regarding how far in advance they can apply for the extension.

@Paul ******
usually they grant extensions 15 days before visa runs out. But each immigration office is different.

Lisa / Martin/ Kev you have been active in this an other groups for a while now so surely you have read too that the COVID-19 extension u only get once u have used up your normal extensions. I was just unsure how early I could do it in Nakhon Sawan since every office seems to have its own rules.

So first the 60+30 and in my case then either +60 Thai family or change to Non O Due to marriage for a further 90 and then 1 year renewal. which is the better option for me since I can have a WP too

But that will probably be in the next year or two... have to earn a few million more first lol

Nakhonsawan will definitely do it with 30 or less

At most immigration offices, you can get an extension of stay when you have 30 days or less remaining on your existing stamp
