Does anyone know how many days early you can apply for Covid extension?

Mine runs out April 17th but was thinking about renewing next week in case they don’t do another as I’d like to stay til May!

TLDR : Answer Summary
You can apply for a Covid visa extension 30-45 days before your current visa expires, though the exact timing may vary by immigration office. Note that the extension will begin from the day you apply, not from your existing visa expiration date. It's also important to check your eligibility for the extension, as the criteria may have become stricter depending on your visa type.

Jomtien send you away if you go too soon they only want people going to extend their visa a few days before it expires. All offices are different you might be lucky.

You may want to check if you are eligible. I thought they started being more strict on who qualified, eg which type of visa you are on.

You can do it now but as I was told when I was out there Wednesday getting my covid extension that it will start from the day you apply. It will not be carried on from your existing Visa

30-45 days depending on the immigration office. Go next week, you’ll be fine.
