My 16 year's old  son tourist visa(from Laksi immigration ) about to end on this coming 14th of June but my problem is , He need  more than 15 days left on his visa to applied Non-ed in Chaengwattana Immigration.

Is there any chances to extend another 7 days or more tomorrow with out leaving the country? Do you think the immigration allowing my son to extend? I just handed all his documents needed for non-ed  late in the afternoon today.

I am so stressed and need some advice  what to do😓

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user is seeking advice on whether it's possible to extend their 16-year-old son's tourist visa in Thailand, which is expiring soon, without leaving the country. The user needs additional days to apply for a Non-ED visa and is anxious about the situation. Respondents clarify that an extension is unlikely as the required time for applying for a Non-ED visa exceeds what's left on the current visa, and advise that the child must leave Thailand by the visa expiration date.

You already used the only extension available. Every immigration office is the same that you need at least 15 or 21 days to apply for an ED visa.

No you cannot get a 7 day extension because that doesn't exist. The 7 days is an "extension denied you MUST leave Thailand in 7 days" stamp and will not help you at all.
