Can I be certain my one-year permission to stay application will be approved after receiving the 'under consideration' stamp?

@Kim ********

very unusual

Me think he did the "change of visa type", the fee would be 2000.- THB, and the 90-days Non-Imm O "married to a Thai wife" visa will always be handed out for 14 days "under consideration". He didn't apply for the extension, yet. And when applying for the "change", it often occurs that the handing over of the actual 90-days stamp after the "under consideration" period, is already outside the initially stamped stay permit. The requirement just says that when applying for the change, you must still have a minimum of 15 days left on your stay permit. So, i guess he got the number of days wrong by a low count

@Kim ********

I am following visa advice groups since 12 years and I don't know of any report of someone whose application to an extension of stay based on the marriage to a Thai wife was rejected

@Kim ********

Thanks for the info

Then it is what it is.

When one applies for the “1-year Extension of stay” from out of a 90-days Non-Imm-O married to a Thai wife visa, it will always get issued on 4 weeks “under consideration”

Immigration will visit you at home during this period, they will ask your neighbours and just make sure your marriage is for real

On the day mentioned on the “under consideration” stamp you will be able to visit immigration to pick up your passport with the extension stamp

You could ask Immigration when they come to your home, if they would be willing to hand your passport back before the due date of the “under consideration” period . . . and don't forget to buy a re-entry permit for 1000.- THB so the extension doesn't become invalid when you exit Thailand

@Nongnuch *******

He said 1 year in his post, so that led me to believe he did the extension. But it's possible he did the conversion. Should still have received a receipt either way though.
