Hi, my Mom is only able to get a 30 day tourist visa which can then be extended another 30 days. I am wanting her to go to Penang to get a new visa. So if her visa expires on 24 September-when does she need to go to Penang (by what date)? Is the office open on a Saturday? TIA, she is almost 70 and I need all my ducks in a row otherwise she will stress.
TLDR : Answer Summary
Your mom's current 30-day tourist visa expires on September 24th, and she needs to leave Thailand to apply for a new visa in Penang. To avoid overstaying, she should aim to leave Thailand a few days before this expiration date. It is advisable to make a trip to Penang no later than September 20th. Please note that Thai consulates and embassies are closed on weekends, so plan her trip accordingly.
