Hello guys!

I have a free visa for 30 days in Thailand, since I am Swiss. I would like to do a visa extension at an immigration office. But I have some questions, can you help me?

1) How many days in advance can I go to the Immigration Office?

2) What documents will they specifically need from me?

Thank you!

Kind regards, Saskia

TLDR : Answer Summary
Saskia, a Swiss citizen, is seeking help regarding her 30-day free visa in Thailand and wants to know when she can apply for a visa extension at the immigration office and what documents she needs to bring. Responses indicate that most immigration offices allow an extension application when there are 30 days or less remaining on the current visa stamp, though some offices may prefer 7 days or less. Additionally, a list of common documents needed for the extension is shared, emphasizing that requirements may vary by immigration office.

how about FIRST stating where you are in thailand so people know what immigration office you're thinking of using? ๐Ÿ™

MOST offices let you go when you have 30 days or less on your current stamp (so for you any time) BUT some (Jomtien and Samui) want you to go when you have a week or less left

AND

You won't lose any days going early because the 30 days is added to your current stamp expiration date
