OKAY, the riddle is solved. Tod Daniels the “visa guru” of Facebook, had his say in the matter

My question was:

“will a person who arrived on a "visa-on-arrival" for 15 days, be accepted on Immigration to apply for an extension and receive the "application denied, you have 7 days to leave the kingdom" stamp ?

Or will this person not even be accepted to apply?”

Tod Daniels:

“They have to show onward travel in 15 days to even get into the country on a VOA

Now before that 15 days is up they could go to the immigration office and show that they're going to leave within a week and apply for the 7-Day extension denied stamp

They give it out it's not common most of the VOA people already have onward travel in 15 days and just leave”

.. I by now have asked Tod Daniels and the Thai Visa Advice group to clear this question. Let's be patient and wait for the reply

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

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.

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

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

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

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"
