ASAP HELP PLEASE 

I have 2 months visa and it is going to end in 10 days. Today I have time to go to immigration but a friend of mine told me extension starts from the day you apply and ofc I don't wanna waste 10 days from the visa I already have. But another friend said extension starts from the day your visa ends, no matter the day you apply. I need to know how it works, if it's starting from the day visa ends then it's best to make it today because later might don't have time later 😕...

Many thanks 🙏🏾

Answer summary

The extension for a Thai visa begins on the day your current visa expires, not from the day you apply for the extension. Therefore, it's advisable to apply for the extension before your visa expires to maximize your stay in Thailand.

So can you do the extension at any point during the 2 months, even at the beginning or does it have to be towards the end?

At some offices you can apply for the extension when you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp, others are 30 days or less, and a couple offices are 15 days or less. Check with your immigration office to know for sure

Vize uzatma tarihiniz pasaportunuzda basılan damgada geçerli olan tarih. O tarihin 1 gün evvelinde Patong Immigration veya Phuket Town daki Immigration office gidip 1900 baht karşılığında vizenizi 1 ay daha uzatma şansınız var. 3 ayın sonunda ise visa run yaparak tekrar bir 2+1 aylık vizeye sahip olabilirisiniz.

I don't know where that rumor comes from but a LOT of people think that way :/

All extensions of stays start from the day your current "admitted until" stamp expires. They ADD the extension on to that date :)

No. The extension is added to your visa. So the end-date of your visa is the start date of the extension.
