What are the chances of receiving a 30-day or 7-day extension for my visa exemption in Thailand after multiple visits?

Moderate chance of 30 days. You need to be convincing to the Immigration officer and have much tourist stuff ready as you can, like return flight to your home country, hotel booked. 20kthb

On what basis was the non o issued? Marriage or retirement? The TM7 is one form you need, but depending on the type of visa ext your on will depend what you need. Also visit your immigration they can give you the requirements and you can pick up other forms.
