Hi everyone! My friend's TR 60 days visa expires on 4th of June which is on Sunday. Should my friend get an extension on 2nd June (Friday) or would it be better to go on Monday, 29th of May?

TLDR : Answer Summary
It's recommended that your friend apply for the TR 60 days visa extension well before the expiration date. The community agrees that waiting until the last few days is unnecessary and could lead to complications, especially since extensions are calculated from the expiration date, not the application date. The ideal time to apply would be earlier in the week to avoid crowds, especially following weekends or holidays.

Go way before now! But seriously go on Tuesday (Monday is probably busy). Don't wait until the day before. If they are busy enough, they will tell you to come back the next day.

Just go sometime before the expiration date of the visa to buy a 30 day extension for ฿1,900

Monday or the day after holidays is usually crowded.

He should’ve gone way before it has expired. Not sure why people wait till the last days to extend. It doesn’t matter when you extend, it doesn’t lessen the days you get, the extension gets added from the date your original visa was to end so you lose no days.

Your friend should have gone already and not waited until the last few days as you lose nothing applying earlier.

No, most offices allow extension applications 30 days before the exit stamp date
