Can I add a 7-day extension to my already maximized tourist visa in Thailand?

The OP has their options. Good luck 🍀

Frankly IMHO, it's better that you LEAVE Thailand. You have abused the Thai Immigration entries AND will not be treated kindly if you are arrested for OVERSTAY. And be prepared to have your 7 day extension request DENIED by the Thai Immigration Officers..

It's been two land entries (visa exemption) per calendar year since 1th January 2017 so nothing new..

One thing to bear in mind is that they don't have to give you that 7 days to leave the country stamp. It's up to the immigration officer and it starts on the day you get it, not added to your existing extension.

Were both your 30 day entries at land borders? If that's the case, there's no more for you this year

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿. <- Dunno who told you that bit of mis-information but believe me, sooner rather than later you're going to get pulled aside flying in told to get the correct visa to stay here OR denied entry and shipped back out of the country (on your time)

AND

You are only allowed TWO free 30 day entry stamps by land in a calendar year, so if you bounced two times already you're done getting free entry stamps by land entries 😮

Now as far as the 7 day "application for extension not approved" stamp <-which ISN'T an extension but an extension denied stamp. Sure you can get it on every entry if you want to, and it doesn't count against you.

As a rule you should do EVERYTHING you can do to NOT overstay.. That should be the last resort if there's no other option and it should NOT be taken lightly as it can run you right off the rails

Good luck with it (y)
