IT Square Laksi was full by 1030 and giving people que numbers for tomorrow. 

My visa expires today so they told me to come back at 4 without any sort of ticket.  There was another couple with a flight tomorrow that they told to come it 4.  Others were complaining they were already on overstay from Songkran, but we're not traveling so they were given a que numbers for tomorrow.

Requested proof of flight (flight happens to be this week).

2nd 60 day covid extension off a visa exempt entry.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The situation at IT Square Laksi Immigration Office was chaotic, with many people queuing for services, especially after the Songkran holiday. The user faced an urgent issue with their visa expiring the same day and was instructed to return at 4 PM without a ticket, despite having a flight that week. They received a queuing number for the next day and noted that others were dealing with overstays. Tips from commenters included making an online appointment in advance and sharing their experiences of receiving priority service when showing proof of an expiring visa.

Oh and the first person this morning saw my phuket extension and told me to go back to phuket. I showed them my bkk tm 30 and had to insist that I am to do it here at IT square.

Went back 20 min before 4. They asked do I have priority. Showed my expiring today visa and they gave me a separate que card. Didn't ask for flights again, but they did verbally ask this morning when I was flying out. Got an underconsideration stamp. Said if I leave the country before the return date I'm fine.

Perhaps try making an appointment online for tomorrow, print out and take the appointment confirmation

Unfortunately. Went to phuket as well weeks ago to do this and was told to go away. I'm going in and won't leave until they put a stamp in my passport.

Thanks, nothing new, always busy after a holiday.

Apply on the last second seems more attrractive than to do it early so you can relax.
