If the yearly extension of a non-B visa is about to expire without the new extension having been issued yet, can one get a temporary extension at immigration for a few weeks?

Answer summary

The discussion revolves around the possibility of obtaining a temporary extension at immigration for a non-B visa that is about to expire. Comments highlight that responsibility lies with the visa holder to apply for an extension before expiration to avoid overstaying. Some users mention that a short-term stamp might be issued if paperwork is in order, but clarify that there is no formal temporary extension. The consensus is that if the new extension hasn't been applied for in time, the only options are to either apply immediately or leave Thailand.

This question doesn't make sense. Immigration is who issues the new extension. The only way you would have issues is if you haven't applied for your new extension yet which it seems like you haven't. How would your next extension be issued if you haven't applied for it yet??

Your options are apply for your next 1 year extension or leave Thailand.

I haven't applied yet and may not be able to file all needed documentation before the deadline.

When you go with all your paperwork they give you 20 odd day stamp to come back (at bangkok they did for me anyway) I went 1 week before my extension expired due to waiting for VAT form and got that stamp then went back 20 odd days later and had to give them my passport for like 5 days
