METV Extension at Immigration - how early can it be done?

Featured Replies

How early before the last date of the stamp which is given on entry into Thailand can a person go to immigration and get a 30 day extension? Eg. you get 60 days stamped in the passport. Can the earliest you go to get an extension be a maximum of 30 days before the expiry of that stamp, or can it be done earlier?

It depends upon the office where you apply for the 30 day extension of the 60 day entry.

Most will do them up to 2 weeks early.

Chaeng Wattana in BKK more specifically. Previously I've been going there around 25 days before stamp expiry date but wanted to know if it's possible to go even earlier.

I have read posts stating that Chaeng Wattana immigration did it earlier than 30 days before the end of the 60 days.

Cool, nice to know they are more flexible to do it even earlier. 

Do a border bounce and get 60 days.
