Question from my Taiwanese girlfriend:

With her passport from the Republic of China (Taiwan) she got a 14 day visa on arrival. Is she allowed to extend that for another 14 or 30 days at the Immigration office?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A Taiwanese citizen cannot extend a 14-day visa on arrival (VOA) in Thailand. If an extension is applied for, it will result in a 'denial of extension' stamp, granting only a 7-day period to leave Thailand, starting from the application date.

No.

doesn't make a difference what they wrote IF she got a 15 day visa on arrival she can get a 7 day "application for extension denied" stamp that gives her a week to get out of thailand.

Oh and on this stamp the time starts the date you apply for the 7 day extension <- meaning IF she goes before her 15 day VOA is expiring she will lose the days she has left

Can't extend at all. If requested she will get a denial (and 7 days to leave) for 1900thb.

So you pay when you apply. Maybe you have a friendly officer that "warns" you that you will get denied and therefor a 7 days stamp. But that might not happen, so than you have paid your 1900thb already and there is no refund.

what? u request, get denied, HAVE TO buy 7days for 1900b? assume you didnt go there last day of your visa then u dont HAVE TO buy those 7days.. what are they gonna force you to buy it? that would be ridiculous if thats truth.

Even if you went there last day of your visa, u DONT HAVE TO buy 7days/1900 , instead can just leave thailand that day or pack in 1day, pay 500b fine, or not?

VOA cannot extend (7 day "extension/denial" does not count as one)

ORIGINAL POSTER
Visa class in the stamp says „TP 15“ or „TR 15“ (I can‘t say if the officer wrote P or R.
