When can I apply to extend my 60-day visa in Thailand if my stay exceeds the allowed duration?
Hi Everyone , I came to Thailand from the uk with a 60 day visa and my stay is 72 days , when can I apply to extend my visa to cover the extra days .
Answer summary
A user inquired about extending their 60-day visa in Thailand, as they were staying beyond the allowed duration. Community responses clarified that the timing to apply for an extension varies by immigration office, with most allowing applications when there are 30 days or less remaining on the current visa. Some locations, like Koh Samui and Jomtien, restrict applications to the last week of the visa's validity. It's crucial for visa holders to check local office rules, as policies can differ significantly.

why would you ever leave it that long? They add on the days so it’s irrelevant if you you do it 7, 20 or 30 days prior (if your immigration office allows).Roger **********
@Stuart ********
, depending on who serves you. Immigration prefer you to wait until the current Visa is finished. Officer at PLok told me this. Any time in the final week should work. Not before.

That’s completely office dependent. Some offices allow 45 days prior to a stamp expiring, most allow 30, but some will insist on 7 days max.

It all depends on where you are staying as to which office you use.

What is your location?? Some immigration offices won't let you do it until you have 7 days or less remaining on your current stamp.

At most immigration offices you can apply when you have 30 days or less left on your entry stamp. Koh Samui and Jomtien immigration only allow you to go during your last week.
