Hello i have been living in Chiang rai and attending Chiang rai immigration for my last 2 Covid extensions .

I was given another 'under consideration' stamp last week , and i am to return on 11th feb to close loop .

I have just found out from my landlord that i have to vacate my rented room here in CR on the 4th Feb ! So i have no choice but to return to BKK to stay with friends ... Is there any way i can get 'loop closed earlier than the 4th feb here in CR OR possibly close loop in BKK where i will be living from the 4th Feb ?

I know Thi Imm are likely to be unhelpful in this situation but if anyone knows if it is possible please assist. I have nowhere to stay in Chiang Rai from the 4th of Feb until the date of closure of loop, and i have no idea what options i have Thankyou for any advice

TLDR : Answer Summary
An expat in Chiang Rai is facing a dilemma because they have to vacate their rented room before their scheduled immigration appointment to close an 'Under Consideration' stamp. They are inquiring if it's possible to close this process earlier than their appointment or in Bangkok, where they will be staying after leaving Chiang Rai. Responses suggest that it is necessary to close the stamp in Chiang Rai as they cannot do it in Bangkok, with options for affordable accommodation in Chiang Rai if needed.

I believe the OP knows his options...limited at that.

I see a return visit to Chiang Rai immigration in his plans as instructed.

Good Luck

Or you just need to make a short trip to ChiangRai from Bangkok around 11 Feb.

I'm sure you can find a 1000 baht a week accommodation in CR quite easily.

You will need to close out the Under Consideration stamp in Chiang Rai. Go as instructed. You cannot close it out in Bangkok.

Guest house and hotel rooms in Chiang Rai are cheap if your landlord will not allow you to pay rent for one more week.

Thnks for your prompt reply the landlord is what you might call 'Slightly unhelpful'!! She said she needs the room vacated on the 4th.... If i went to BKK immi and said i no longer live in Chiang Rai and i have new TM30 for my BKK residence could the Ext i applied for in Chiang Rai be deleted and re apply afor Covid Ext in BKK? Thanks

Sorry ..NO

You will need to close out at Chiang Rai.
