Is the 7 day extension on a tourist visa possible anymore? I have a tourist visa till the 31st after that I'd like to stay around a week more. Can I apply for an extension at Chaengwattana?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The possibility of obtaining a 7-day extension on a tourist visa depends on nationality and visa type. For example, a Bangladeshi national cannot get a 30-day extension on a 60-day tourist visa and will only receive a 7-day extension that starts from the day of application, not added to the current stamp. Additionally, some offices may require proof of departure within those 7 days.

Bangladeshi cannot get a 30 day extension on a 60 day tourist visa entry :/ All they can get is the 7 day extension denied stamp to leave the country in a week. AND some offices require that you show proof you're leaving in 7 days it issue it.

Also remember the 7 days is NOT added to the end of your current stamp but starts the day you apply so go on or just before your current stamp expires.
