Hi! Could you please answer the following question:

A person is in Thailand on a tourist visa. He is going to extend it by 30 days. Will he be entitled to extend it by 7 more days providing that he has a return ticket with the return date within this 7-days period? The person is Russian.

Thank you in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A Russian tourist in Thailand can extend a 60-day tourist visa by an additional 30 days at Thai Immigration, but typically, there is no provision for a further 7-day extension, even with a return ticket. The possibility of extending beyond the standard 30 days is at the discretion of the immigration office, and such cases often lead to a suggestion to do a border run for an additional stay.

Thank you everyone. This isn't a visa on arrival, this is a regular 60 days tourist visa. Yes, I meant the 7 days grace period just didn't know the right wording for that.

we do try to be helpful.

But at first read it appeared to be a way to stretch 60 days into 7 added days.

There is no 7 day Extension of Stay. it depends on the Immigration Office if they allow him to apply for a new Extension of Stay and then not approve the application or just tell him to make a border run for a new 30 day stay.
