Hello guys, I have a question about visa - how does it work if I want to stay a week longer after my two months visa + one month extension? I've heard in the past you can just go to immigration and get another a week long stamp for 1900Baht. Does anyone have an experience with this? πŸ‘€πŸ™πŸ’›

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the process of obtaining a 7-day extension for a visa in Thailand after the initial two months and one month extension. Users clarify that it is possible to request a 7-day extension for 1900 Baht at the immigration office, which is typically granted regardless of previous extensions, as long as you apply before the current visa expires. There are considerations regarding the type of visa held, as well as reassurance that a 'denied extension stamp' is not considered an overstay.

Your profile says "lives in Ko Phangan" so you have the wrong visa ;-)

As a volunteer you need the Non Immigrant O visa based on being a volunteer and a Work Permit as volunteer.

And in New Life Foundation I was only volunteering.. You can check their website and see that this place will not make you money anyway.

Anyway πŸ˜πŸ€— Have a good day, both of you ❀️

Nothing to do with luck. You can’t be denied 7 day β€˜extension’. The denial of a longer extension gives you the 7 days after your visa expires to leave the country. So basically yes, 1900 Baht guarantees you another 7 days

No, you can be denied to apply. There is no guarantee that you can make an application.

Just for your information the denied stamp is not a bad mark like an overstay stamp would be
