I went to the phuket immigration for my extension - but they said I can only do a 7 day extension because my visa is not a tourist visa. So Visa exemption cannot extend another 30 days?
I flew in to Phuket airport from Hong Kong and holds Hong Kong passport.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user reported that they could only get a 7-day extension on their visa due to entering Thailand under a visa waiver scheme for Hong Kong passport holders, rather than a visa exemption. Comments clarified that entries under this scheme can't be extended like a visa exempt entry, suggesting they apply for a 60-day tourist visa elsewhere, which can then be extended for an additional 30 days.
