My visa exempt stamp expires on June 2nd which is a Sunday. The next day 3rd is a public holiday. When should I go for extension? On 31th of May or 4th of June? TIA

Will I still get the 30 days from the date of expiration or will they count new from the date of actual extension?

expiration date, regardless of when you actually do your extension.

a tourism extension is added onto the end. You don't lose days by going early.

You can do your extension anywhere within the last week, so personally I would have gone the 31th although you can get your extension the first working day after the immigration has been closed as well.

Immigration is going to be very busy on both Friday and Tuesday.

You have Wednesday(tomorrow) and Thursday to get it done before that's a concern.

If you go before the holiday you won't be fined or get an overstay stamp. If you go on Tuesday then you'll receive an overstay stamp but no fine and the stamp will say that the office was closed so the fine was waived.
