you will find a lot of wrong info in the internet, including that f...d website thaiembassy dot com. They list absolutely incorrect info in this matter. You can clearly detect it, because a citizen who can only get a VOA, cannot be handed out a 30 days stay permit at the airport (the last sentence!) This advice is complete BS. . . it starts with the misleading info that the 7 days are called an extension, however they are an "application for extension denied" stamp

@Ivan ***********

a VOA holder is NOT allowed to extend, and this means being refused to apply for an extension . . . . Ubon Joe did not always hand out accurate info 😃

in possession of a VOA,

@Cristina ******

won't even be accepted on Immigration to apply for an extension, so there won't be any "application denied you have 7 days to leave the country" stamp.

@Tullio ******

in possession of a VOA, she won't even be accepted on Immigration to apply for an extension, so there won't be any "application denied you have 7 days to leave the country" stamp. And her journey will probably already end at the airline check-in in Europe, if not then at the VOA counter of BKK airport. She will be refused entry. You are right = She has THREE alternatives: either she needs a 60-days tourist visa, or she must change the date of her flight to Thailand by 2 or 3 days later. OR she leaves Thailand for one day on the 15th day (she must however have a printed proof of this onward travel like a REAL airline ticket - not a "fake onwardticket") and re-enter by air and buy another VOA

@Salvo *****

OK, I understand

@Gezinus ****************

yes, you can get ONE 30 days extension for 1900.- THB on Immigration

@Gezinus ****************

yes you can, but be aware the Airline upon check-in can ask you for a proof of onward travel out of Thailand within these 30 days you will get stamped in. You either must have a return ticket within this 30 days period, or buy a cheap one-way ticket, like Bangkok to Siem Reap

@Gezinus ****************

not "on arrival". When from Holland, you will not receive a visa at all. You will enter "visa-exempt" and get stamped in for a 30 days "admitted stay"

@Salvo *****

you seem to be an Italian citizen, and I am just LOUDLY wondering if MAYBE you made a mistake at the airport, you went to the VOA counter and bought a 15-days visa-on-arrival for 2000.- THB, and entered Thailand with it. Actually, Italian passports will receive a 30 days stay permit when entering without a visa

You cannot extend the 90 days stay permit received when entering the country with a “single entry Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa” by the tourist extension of 30 days.

All you could do is exit Thailand and re-enter without a visa, if you are a citizen of a country that can get 30 days by entering visa exempt, you will receive a 30 days stamp and can extend this stay on Immigration once for 1900.- THB for 30 more days.

You can however, from up to 30 days before the 90 days stay permit expires, apply for the “1-year Extension of Stay Permit based on Retirement” if you fulfill the financial requirements .

. . . which are either a deposit of a minimum of 800,000.- THB on a Thai bank account in your sole name

or an income affidavit legalized by your embassy which proves that you earn more than 65,000.- THB per month

or, if your embassy doesn’t issue such an affidavit, a bank letter that proves you have transferred from abroad 65,000 THB onto your bank account, for 12 consecutive months, month for month
