Dear all, 

Being under a METV (6 months) which will end on 9th April ( my last stamp) I planned to ask for an extension 30 days at immigration office in Pattaya at 1900 bahts. 

I had from some of you, a previous advice to make my request only 3 days before the end of my current valid stamp. However regarding the current situation do you really recommend me to wait or better to do it anytime from now? 

Thanks in advance for your help. 

Regards

Answer summary

A user seeking advice on when to apply for a 30-day extension of their METV in Pattaya, which is set to expire on April 9, is advised to wait and submit the application only 1-2 days before the expiration date due to the busy nature of the immigration office.
