I want to extend my 15 days visa on arrival (India) but Indians are only allowed to extend by 7 days, so would it be considered as a visa extension or would it be an extension denial stamp on my passport?

TLDR : Answer Summary
As an Indian citizen, your 15-day visa on arrival in Thailand can only be extended by 7 days. However, if you apply for this extension and are denied, you will receive a stamp in your passport indicating the denial, requiring you to leave the country within those 7 days.

If they allow you to apply (some offices won’t) your application will be denied, with a stamp saying as such in your passport. With such stamp you have 7 days to leave the country.

Would it be a problem with such a stamp on my passport to apply for other countries in the future?

That’s purely up to the discretion of the immigration office(r). Its definitely worth a try.

in Phuket if you have entered Tr15 (2 weeks) you can apply for a "covid" extension 30 days only.

You would require either an embassy letter or an exit flight with payment confirmation.

There is a list at Phuket immigration of what you need in full, with 2 sets complete.

Otherwise it is only a 7 day extension available.

Not a denial.

you could try but one would assume you had to have a return flight booked to enter the country in the first place so they wonder why you can't use it

You entered knowing you were allowed 15 days and perhaps a 7 day extension

I understand your reasons for wanting to stay but I'm not sure that would be enough to be granted a covid extension. You may as well try though. Can't see you've anything to lose by asking
