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
