TLDR : Answer Summary
The question pertains to whether a one year visa extension in Thailand can be approved before the end of the official 30-day under consideration period. One commenter suggests discussing this potential flexibility directly with the immigration office during application submission, especially if there are upcoming travel plans. However, if an 'under consideration' stamp has already been given with a specified return date, it may not be possible to expedite the approval.

You need to discuss this with the immigration office when you are submitting your application. For example if you have a trip or something planned, they can sometimes be flexible. But if you already have the under consideration stamp with when to return, you lost your chance.
