1st time ever I require extension to existing visa exempt entry

[Chivas]

In the past I have never stayed beyond 60 days in one trip....hard up against it many times via SETV etc but not exceeded  (I did have one days grace overstay last Xmas day but thats it)

 

Simple question. Firstly I dont want to do it myself for a myriad of reasons. If you walked back Soi 5 immigration as I do often its utter chaos. I read of sitting around for hours and often told come back next day to my mind madness

 

Agents all seems to charge roughly same price (no issue with cost)

 

Question because wasnt convinced the Thai Visa place quite understood my final brief question

 

When is it prudent to take passport and photos etc to them. I explained it didnt expire to early December  but she insisted you can come anytime prior to that

 

Is that accurate  ??   She seemed switched on to be fair. 5 minutes walk in with me and back out again she said all sorted

 

Does the 30 day extension (if granted) follow on from existing expiry date or from when you actually go in ?

It extends your existing permission to stay irrespective of when you apply for it.

The 30 days is added to current permission of stay stamp.

You do not lose days by going early.

 

Agents can apply for extension early. Doing it by yourself at Jomitien sometimes they want you to apply closer to expiry..
