Definition of "15 days before visa expiration" to change visa?

[Zacuzzi]

Hello, I'd like to change a travel visa to Non-B visa, and I understand the rule that it has to be AT LEAST 15 days before visa expiration.

 

My question is, if I have a 60 days tourist visa, can I still try to change the type of the Visa, after the 30 days extension?

 

For example, let's say I stayed in Thailand for 70 consecutive days with a 60 days tourist visa + 30 days extension.  Can I still change the type of Visa, because there is still 20 more days left by the extension?

 

Your answer would be very much appreciated.

 

Thank you.

If in Thailand on a visa exempt entry, entry from a tourist visa, or an extension of stay from either of these, you can apply for the Non Immigrant visa at immigration as long as there is at least 15 days remaining on your permission to stay. Note, however, that a few immigration offices require you to have more than 15 days remaining. Apply as soon as possible to allow time to resolve any (not improbable) issues with the application.

You apply for the change to a non-b visa up to the last 15 days of your 60 day permit to stay from your tourist visa or the 30 day extension of it.

I'm here on a tourist visa with one 30 day extension already. They told me to come back again for a 60 day one. When do I have to appear and when will they start the 60 days? When I appear?

You can apply for the 60 day covid 19 extension during the last week of your current 30 day extension. The new extension will start from the day your 30 day extension ends.
