Hello, I arrived in Thailand on a British passport and got a 45-day visa exemption stamp. I would like to extend. If I apply for an extension on day 40 (for example) will the extension start on day 41 or day 46? Is it better to wait until day 44 to apply for the extension? Do you know how many days the extension will be for and how much it will cost? 45 is handwritten in pen next to my visa stamp. Thanks :)
TLDR : Answer Summary
A British passport holder in Thailand with a 45-day visa exemption can apply for a visa extension for 30 days, regardless of whether they apply on day 40 or day 44. The cost of the extension is 1,900 baht. The 45-day visa exemption has been temporarily increased until March 2023, and the number 45 is hand-written due to the usual stamp being for 30 days. Different immigration offices may have varying guidelines on when you can apply for an extension, with some locations allowing applications up to 10 days before the expiration.
