TLDR : Answer Summary

French citizens now face restrictions on obtaining visas in Thailand, leading to questions about the best methods for visa runs and extensions on tourist visas. Opinions from the community suggest that while a ban exists on the visa on arrival, obtaining a visa through a Thai consulate might still be possible. Visa extensions without leaving Thailand may also depend on the type of visa currently held.

People from france never got a visa on arrival. They got a 30 day visa exampt, which is a small square stamp in your passport.

1. Can I get the source where french citizens are banned from getting a visa?

2. Where are you in Thailand?

3. It may be possible to get a visa extension, depending on the type of visa you currently have.
