A friend is on a tourist visa and will do an extra month extension, how soon before the expiry date can she apply for extension?

Or does it need to be on the day if expiry?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A tourist visa extension in Thailand can be applied for during the last 30 days before the expiry date. It's advised to apply earlier within this period to ensure an additional 30 days are granted without losing any stay days.

He can do it during the last 30 days of his Admitted to Stay date. The 30 extra days are added on his stay, so he will not loose days by going early.

No, as mentioned the 30 extra days, the Extension of Stay will be added to his current stay mentioned in the Admitted to Stay date stamped in his passport. His visa is used.

thanks as they need to change plane ticket so that’s great thanks.

If he does 2 weeks before end will it be dated from the date of application or the expiry date of tourist visa?
