I am currently working in Thailand and have a non immigrant RS visa (same as normal for working but I do not need a work permit).
I will quit working here and leave Thailand. However, after my contract expires (and my visa at the same day) I need to stay another 10-15 days. I called the immigration but they could not advice me how to do it and told me to leave the country to get a new visa. But that is a very impractical and expensive solution for me.
I was told about a 7 days extension by the immigration but next time I was in contact with them they told me I might not be granted that because that was if one needed time to prepare papers between jobs and not for when one finish work and need time to pack and arrange things before leaving. And they therefore said it could very well be declined.
Can you please advice how I can solve this solution in a legal and practical way. As it is now I have the choice of either breaking my contract or the visa rules. I do not like either of those
If immigration will not allow you to extend your current visa, then you would need to exit Thailand. Depending on the passport that you hold, you may be able to do a border run and enter the country visa-free.

I’m in Bangkok on an extended exempt visa. If I travel outside Thailand and return via a land border post, will my new exempt visa be for 30 days, or less?
Another question if I may. How do I convert an exempt visa to a tourist visa, and is it worth it? I.e. does it give me more time in Thailand?
Thank you.
The duration of stay given at the border will depend on the immigration officer who will review your documents once you re-enter. We would suggest that you apply for a tourist visa before traveling to Thailand.
You have 2 options:
My retirement visa is due for renewal on a Saturday. Is their a penalty for late renewal on the following Monday?
If you are late on applying for a visa renewal, your visa will be expired thus you will be charged for overstaying. Each day of overstay is charged at 500 THB.
We suggest that you renew your visa within the last month that your current visa is valid.
