ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
If you're planning to apply for a 30-day extension in Thailand, the best time to do so is typically when you have about 30 days or less remaining on your initial 60-day visa. Some immigration offices may allow you to apply as early as 45 days before the visa expiration, while others may require you to wait until 7 days before. Many users suggest going to the immigration office a week before your visa expires for a smoother process. It's advisable to check the specific requirements at your nearest immigration office to ensure you have all necessary documentation, including proof of residency.
