Will I lose days if I apply for a COVID visa extension before my current stamp expires?
Have COVID stamp till 30 March. If I go in tomorrow do I loose 6days or do they add 60 days on to the 30th. Thanks
Answer summary
If you apply for a COVID visa extension before your current stamp expires on March 30, the 60 days will be added to your existing end date rather than resulting in a loss of days. It's advisable to apply as close to March 30 as possible, though there's no guarantee of extension approval.

I’ve just got my first covid extension today at jontiem and the 60 days was added onto the end of my last stamp, I applied 5 days before my last stamp expired (3 working days)

lucky you! I went there yesterday, and first they wanted to add 60 days to the end of my extension that was coming to an end (making it ~90 days in total), but then changed their mind to offer only 60.

And if you are now on COVID EXTENSION...
the 60 days are ADDED to your current ending date.

That's going to be between you and the immigration office :( I recommend going as close to March 30 as possible. There is *NO* promises they would grant that extension of stay. BUT I have not seen any formal rejections yet :)
