Thai Visa Visa Extension Mexican Passport Visa Regulations Visa Run Laos Tourism in Thailand Immigration Office Procedures

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hola! Thanks for accepting me to the group! 

I'm Mexican, came on June 3rd flew from Istanbul to Bangkok and I got a 14 day visa upon arrival (which I was expecting to be 30 days) I just went to Chiang Mai immigration office trying to get a 30 day extension and they gave only 7 days. Which means I now have to leave the country next Friday the 21st. 

I'm thinking about going to Laos and applying for the 30 day visa in the Thai embassy there. Can anybody tell me if there is a certain number of days that I most be out in order to come back? Or will this depend on how fast I get the new visa?

All the people I've spoke to say they never heard of such short time visas, could this be because of my Mexican passport? 

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated as I was counting on the 30 days one and have already plane and hotels booked to do some island hoping in about two weeks.

Gracias!!!!

TLDR : Answer Summary

A Mexican citizen is seeking advice on visa issues after receiving a 14-day visa upon arrival in Thailand, unexpectedly shorter than the expected 30 days. After a 7-day extension at the Chiang Mai immigration office, they plan to travel to Laos to apply for a 30-day visa at the Thai embassy. The user is inquiring about the necessary duration they must stay out of Thailand before returning and whether the situation is influenced by their nationality.
