ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello. I’m wondering if anyone has ever been able to get an “under consideration” stamp for a couple days earlier than what it should be when applying for one year extension? ￼Ex: they want you to come on Monday but you ask to get it on the previous Thursday or Friday instead. Reasoning being need to fly out of country over the weekend. 

Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about the possibility of obtaining an 'under consideration' stamp for a visa extension a few days earlier than scheduled due to needing to travel out of the country. A comment suggests bringing proof of the flight which may facilitate the request, but also warns that the immigration office may not be able to expedite processing if it needs to be sent to the district office. It's advised to inquire whether a later appointment might also be a possibility.

Bring proof of your flight out and they might accommodate you. But beware, the reason many under consideration stamps are given is because your immigration office cannot process the extension and has to send it to the district office. They probably cannot rush that process. So worst case scenario, if they say they cannot do it earlier, ask them if they can do it later. Your under consideration stamp is considered your extension time already, so you should be able to get a re-entry permit and leave and return while under consideration.

Yes in the past I have needed to leave during the country during my under consideration period and just got a re-entry and was back before the pick up date, no issues there. But this time I need to leave the country on what I am assuming is going to be the date that will be stamped to receive the remaining 11-months after the 1 month is complete, which is going to be a monday since the actual 30 days falls on a sunday. So I am just wondering if anyone has been able to talk to the IO to get the date changed to earlier by a day or two - or even like a week later.

Can a one year extension be approved before the end of the 30-day consideration period in Thailand?
