Is there a possibility to get a 3 days extension after already getting a 3 months Non immigrant O Visum with a 2 months family extension?

Thanks for your answers.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The possibility of obtaining a 3-day extension after having a 3-month Non-Immigrant O Visa with a 2-month family extension is not feasible. Instead, if one applies for an extension and it gets denied, they would receive a 7-day "application for extension not approved" stamp, which requires leaving the country within that timeframe. This option comes with a fee of 1900 baht.

Thanks for your immediate answers. Sounds like a good solution for me. I need 3 more days in Thailand just for not having to change my booked and confirmed flight back to Switzerland. Although having a ticket that allows changes in flight dates Swiss offered another flight for additional € 500.-, which I am not willing to pay.

It is not, you MIGHT get the 7 day "application for extension not approved" stamp that gives you a week to get outta dodge for 1900baht

BUT with that being said

once you get that stamp you can't get any extension from it and you have to leave in a week. So if all you're doing is buying time until your funds are seasoned so you can apply for a year extension that would not be the way to go.
