When is the earliest I can extend my tourist visa in Pattaya before Songkran?

The earliest you can extend your tourist visa in Pattaya is generally up to 30 days before its expiration. However, due to COVID-19, some reports indicate Pattaya may still enforce a rule suggesting you can only apply for an extension within 2 days of expiration. It's advised to check with local immigration if you plan to apply early, as experiences of individuals may vary.
