I am currently on a 60 day tourist visa and wish to apply for the 30 extension. My current entry for leaving is 24/12/25 and I was wondering when is the earliest I can apply for the extension and will it be added to the leaving date. I have a flight booked back to London on 18th Jan 2026 so need the extension to cover this time

The user is currently on a 60-day tourist visa and seeks to apply for a 30-day extension before their flight back to London on January 18, 2026. The inquiry focuses on when they can apply for the extension and how it affects their leaving date.

at most offices, (other than Jomtien or Samui) you can apply for an extension when you have 30 days or less left on your current stamp when the extension is added to the expiration date. meaning you don't lose any time applying early.

those two offices I mentioned allow you to apply for an extension when you have a week left on your current stamp
