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”
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
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, 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
