What options do I have to extend my stay in Thailand after a visa exemption?

@Tom ********

in actuality, nobody cares. Pay your fine and life goes on. The stamp is meaningless

To be fair in the other group a mod said to do this and then shut down other people’s opinions from being aired.

The 7 day denial of extension stamp can usually be got at most immigration offices but the stamp physically says “extension of stay denied”. Is that a stamp you’d want in your passport? No issue with getting back in to Thailand but what about if you were to apply to another country for a visa. Russia or somewhere. There’s been some posts on here that people have been denied entry or visas to other countries because of an overstay stamp in Thailand. I could imagine they’d take possibly the same view of an extension denied stamp.

A simple border bounce will give them the extra days they need. They can do it same day or take a few days to visit a nearby country. Then no “questionable” denial stamp in their passport and an opportunity to visit somewhere else.
