Extension of 30-day stay permit (visa waiver)

[xray]

Does an extension of a 30-day stay permit (visa waiver) need to be made before a certain point in the 30 days, or can the extension be done at any time during the 30 days?

 

Which is the correct Immigration office location in Bangkok to apply for the extension?

If you apply before the 29th of this month you will only get 7 days to leave the country.

For the 7 days you should apply just a couple of day before your permit to stay ends. 

You can only apply at Chaeng Wattana immigration. Location info here: http://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/location1.html

Got it, thanks Joe. My 30 days ends on the 22nd, but I only need an extra four days, so the 7-day extension will work for me.

Yes

You can get a 30 day extension for any 60 day tourist visa entry,  You can do it early and loose nothing because the extension will start from the end of the 60 day permit to stay.

thanks for the kimd reply. so he would have to change his return flight first then show this to imigtration?

[Mario2008]

Yes, that would be best. They want to be sure he will leave after his extension.
