Hey! I entered the country in September under the visa exemption and have already received a 30 day extension. Now I would like to do the covid extension in Phuket before it expires on the 26/11. My residence permit is valid until 7/12.

- When is the earliest I can apply for the covid extension?

- Will the 60 days be credited to me from 7/12 or on the day of application?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is asking about the appropriate timing for applying for a Covid extension in Thailand, considering they entered under a visa exemption and have already received a 30-day extension. They are uncertain about when they can apply – whether they should do it before their current extension expires on 26/11, and when the 60-day Covid extension will start, noting the current extension runs out on 7/12.

You should be able to apply for a Covid extension any time now. Just be aware your Covid extension might start on the day of allocation, not be added.

I think you actually mean your current extension stamp (the 30 day one you got) runs out on Dec 7. SO just go to the Phuket immigration office on or before the 26th of this month and apply for the 60 day covid extension
