ORIGINAL POSTERHi everyone,
Just a quick question, how many days prior to end of 60 days Visa Free entry can we go Extend?
Can we go Extend say 29 days before Expiry of the 60 days OR is it shorter than that?
Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, you can typically apply for a visa extension when you have 30 days or less remaining on your current visa. However, specific offices like those in Jomtien and Samui have stricter rules, allowing extensions only when there is a week or less left on your visa.

At most offices you can apply for an extension when you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp
But some offices, Jomtien and Samui only let you do it when you have a week or less left
