What happens if I miss the date for extending a Tourist visa in Thailand because of an immigration office closure?
Does anyone know about missing the date of Tourist visa extension?
My husband has a Tourist visa for 60 days. Stamp in passport says that it is till March 6.
He wanted to go on March 6 on Monday to immigration for extension for another 30 days.
I found here that March 6 all immigrations will not work.
Question is: what will be when hi will come on immigration on March 7? Any fines or what? Just to be prepared

Answer summary
A user is concerned about missing the date to extend their husband's Tourist visa due to an immigration office closure on March 6. They inquire about the consequences of visiting the office on the next business day, March 7. A comment clarifies that if a visa expiry date falls on a closed day, one can apply on the next business day without incurring an overstay fine. The applicant will be officially stamped to indicate that the overstay fine is waived due to the office closure.

When your date on the stamp is during the office closed, you go to the immigration office the very next business day then you can apply for an extension as normal without an overstay fine. BUT you will be stamped mentioning overstay as "overstay fine is waived due to office closed".
An extension for the same reason with your current stamp will be added (aka top-up) to your current stamp even if you apply for it in advance. No need to wait until the very last day and no downside to going earlier, if there was next time.
