Hi guys, is it a problem to have a 7 day extension stamp in the passport full of stamps? Extension called denial of extension and giving you 7 days to leave the country 👀

TLDR : Answer Summary
Having a 7-day extension stamp in your passport indicates that you applied for a visa extension in Thailand, but it was denied. This stamp grants you an additional week to leave the country. While it won't affect your ability to re-enter Thailand at certain border crossings (like those from Cambodia), it is essential to be aware of potential travel restrictions related to this stamp.

You won't be able to bounce out and in with that stamp at any of the cambodian border crossings. 😮

BUT

other than that it's not a bad stamp, just means you applied for an extension, it was denied and they sold you the 7 day application for extension not approve stamp giving you a week to get out of thailand

@Ömer ******
you need to make your OWN post if you have any more questions. You seemed to have hi-jacked this thread 😕

Good luck with what you're doing.

@Ömer ******
no problem as you say you are planning to stay in Cambodia a few days.

@Ömer ******
you aren't gonna get in and back OUT like a border bounce. They'll let you in you can't get out and back to thailand the same day
Ömer *******
@Tod ********
coming back is not gonna be the same day i will stay in Cambodia 1 week and after 1 week come back to Thailand. Is it possible this way?
Tod *********
@Ömer ******
shouldn't have much of an issue that way. It's the bounce out and back the same day people that have issues
Ömer *******
@Tod ********

@Ömer ******

Ömer *******
@James *******
there is train departs from bangkok train station to Cambodia's border everyday 6 am and 1 pm. It costs 49 bath, takes like 6 hours journey. You will be geting off train and walk like 500m Cambodia border name of border Poipet

@Paul ******
no issue crossing in to Lao with that 7 day denial of extension stamp. The issue is at the Cambodian border crossings only

Denis SD the denial stamp will usually say "no means of support" in thai ไม่มีปัจจัยยังชีพ.

BUT they can deny you for no proof of funds, no onward travel, no proof of lodging, thinking your illegally working on free stamps or tourist visas, OR a passport full of covid extensions where you've been here 2+ years and they think you should go home a while.

It's those people on the extended stay from covid extensions that get the grief flying in. Especially at the two bangkok airports (DMK, BKK)
