If extending a 30 day visa exempt stamp, does the 30 day extension start from date of application or date of the original stamp? TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary

The 30-day extension granted on a 30-day visa exempt entry stamp in Thailand starts from the expiration date of the original stamp, not from the date of application. So, you can apply for the extension early without losing any days.

the 30 day extension on a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp is added to the expiration date you have now so going early will not cost you any days. No need to wait until your stamp is running out

in Bangkok you can ONLY go to IT Square Laksi Plaza to get an extension on a 30 day visa exempt entry 😉 You can't use any other office inside bangkok for that extension

Is it the same as Immigration Division one? Because I have to change my visa type to ED and my boyfriend needs to extend his 30days exemption. I think I have to go to immigration division one for my case but is it different for him?

Your b/f who needs to get a 30 day extension on his 30 day visa exempt entry stamp goes to the new immigration office at IT Square Laksi Plaza 3rd floor (about 2km from C/W office) here
