I’m holding a visa arrival. If I overstay, does it affect me apply for Non B next time? Will they stamp anything if I overstay?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Overstaying a visa on arrival in Thailand incurs a daily fine of 500 baht and results in a stamp in your passport indicating the overstay. However, as long as you meet the document requirements, an overstay does not affect your eligibility for applying for a Non-Immigrant B visa.

You can extend for 30 days if you haven’t done it already

yep, go to the immigration office on the 31st and you'll be fine.

my current stamp expires on the 31. But they are having holiday until 30. So can I go to the immigration office on July 31 and I suppose to get the extension on the same day right?

yes, go to the immigration office and apply for it. They may request proof that you're leaving the country within 7 days. But you should be able to get that 7 day application for extension denied stamp that gives you a week to leave.

I'd wait until your current stamp is almost expiring because that 7 day stamp starts from the date you apply for it. so if you apply early you lose the days on your current stamp.

NO a 15 day visa on arrival cannot get a 30 day extension, you could get a 7 day extension denied stamp for 1900baht that gives you one more week but that's it

you are confusing a free 30 day visa exempt entry; which can be extended for 30 days

AND

a 15 day visa on arrival entry that people from 21 countries BUY when they enter thailand; which CANNOT be extended for any more than 7 days.

Can Visa on arrival be extended?

You will get a 500baht a day fine per day for overstaying and you will get a stamp in your passport that says you overstayed.

At this time overstays are not a factor in getting Non-Immigrant visas if you meet the document requirements.

Tod if you mean Penang, overstay affects only tourist visa, not Non B.
