Visa extension @ CNX I/O - 12 years now.

B800k in bank in LOS.

You can't extend a Visa.

You extend your permission to stay.

A Visa allows entry and permission to stay for the validity of the Visa type.

When that Visa expires, a red 'USED' stamp will be stamped across it by Immigration.

Thereafter annually Immigration will stamp a 'permit' in your passport.

You need a 're-entry permit' to keep your extension alive.

The conditions and criteria attached to acquiring Visas and Extensions are totally different.

Just to be pedantic ...

I entered Thailand in 2011 on a Non Immigrant O (Other) Visa and I haven't left the country since.

Despite an entry and a number of Extensions of stay since, there is no red Used stamp on that Visa.

All Immi offices are fiefdoms and things vary.

So one cannot be dogmatic about them.
