Does anyone know the earliest you can do the yearly extension on an OA visa at Phuket Immigration? I'm reading you can do 30 to 45 days but to check with the individual branch of Immigration. Thanks in Advance.

Phuket allows extension applications when you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp don't they?
