Hello everyone, my question is regarding my wife who obtained the Visa on Arrival as an Indian Passport holder which is valid for 15
Days. We are currently staying in Koh Samui and I’m aware there’s an immigration office there. We are hopeful of extending our stay and while it’s fairly easy for me (Australian passport) it’s difficult for her. I was wondering:
1) is it possible to get an extension of time for the visa on arrival?
2) I’m aware that India is on the prescribed list of countries that consulates in the nearby countries won’t quickly grant a tourist visa, and that there are restrictions on visas for Indians in terms of crossing the land borders. Would it be possible to fly out of Thailand for a few days and then fly back in again thereby getting another visa on arrival at the airport as long as we have an onward ticket and all the other requirements?
Grateful in advance for your advice

They ask if it is feasible to extend the visa or if they can exit Thailand and re-enter to obtain a new Visa on Arrival. Comments from the community suggest that re-entering after flying out might work, but there are risks of needing to provide proof of funds and onward travel.
