Do I lose days if I apply for an immigration extension before my current visa stamp expires in Thailand?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi all,

Been over two years since I left.

Originally entered on a TR visa (1/1/2020)

with a UK passport.

Stayed on covid extensions (until they stopped issuing them).

I remember on covid extensions you would loose days if you applied earlier than your expiry date on the extension stamp.

I cannot remember if that’s the case for ordinary extensions at immigration?

(60 days on arrival, TR visas etc).

Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about whether applying early for ordinary visa extensions in Thailand (post-COVID) would result in losing days, referencing their past experience with COVID extensions. A community member clarified that for 30-day extensions on either visa-exempt entries or tourist visas, the extension is added to the current stamp's expiration date.

The 30 day extensions on either a 60 day free stamp (visa exempt) entry or a 60 day tourist visa entry are ADDED to the date your current stamp expires.
