Hi 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
You can generally apply for a visa extension at most offices when you have 30 days or less remaining on your current visa stamp. However, specific offices like those in Jomtien and Samui may only allow extensions when you have a week or fewer days left before expiration.
