How Soon Can You Request a 30-Day Extension of Visa Exemption on Koh Chang?
Hi all - We are on Koh Chang and have our 30 day visa exemption valid until April 15. We plan to extend this by a further 30 days (regular extension). How soon in advance can you request this extension at the immigration office? Also, does anyone have experience of doing this at the Trat immigration office in Laem Ngop? Thanks!
Answer summary
You can apply for a 30-day extension of your visa exemption between 30 days before the expiration date and the last day of your current stay. It's not necessary to wait until the last day to file for the extension.
