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
Answer summary
You can typically apply for a visa extension in Thailand when you have 30 days or less remaining on your 60-day Visa Free entry at most immigration offices. In some locations, like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket, you might be able to apply with 45 days left. However, specific offices, such as those in Pattaya, Koh Samui, and Koh Phangan, allow applications only during the last week of your visa duration. It's best to check directly with the relevant immigration office for precise requirements.

Check with the IM Office you have to deal with to get the correct answer.
You can apply for an extension when you have 30 days or less left at most immigration offices, and 45 days or less left at some offices (Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, etc).
Specifically for tourist extension, there are a handful of offices that only allow you to apply during your last week. These include Pattaya, Koh Samui, and Koh Phangan.
