What are the options for extending a 15-day Visa on Arrival for Bulgarians in Chiang Mai and how does land entry affect a new visa?

We wish we had better news for you..

Take care and Safe travels.

"Visa on Arrival, when you arrive you will get 15 days, no extension or change of visa category possible. Bhutan, Bulgaria, China (30days visa exempt from 25th September to 29th February 2024), Cyprus, Ethiopia, Fiji, Georgia, India, Kazakhstan (30days visa exempt from 25th September to 29th February 2024), Malta, Mexico, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu. "

And having searched for any changes in the entry requirements for Bulgarians, I have found no changes. Sorry 😔.

You MUST leave Thailand within your current ending date STAMPED in your passport...

It's possible to ask your Thai Immigration office for a 30 day extension of stay, BUT that will be DENIED and you will be given orders for you to leave Thailand within 7 days from the day you apply for the 30 days extension.

So go to Thai Immigration on the last day of your current STAMPED ending date.

"Hmm, I just noticed that bulgarian's BUY a 15 day visa on arriaval to thailand when they show up for 2000baht and I know they can only extend that for 7 days on the extension denied stamp.

Now I don't know if that has any bearing on IF they show up with a 60 day tourist visa if they can get the 30 day extension or not.

Sorry. "

Good Luck 🍀

"Visa On Arrival for 15 days stay is NOT eligible for tourism extension. You have to leave the kingdom at the end of that 15 days."
