ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, we. went to the Krabi office on Monday to obtain the 60 day covid extension.  They eventually stamped it and said we had to return on or before 1st May (not 14 days like others have mentioned), as we hadn't planned on staying in this area for that long can we go to a different immigration office or do we have to go back to the same one?  They said we could go back before but didn't say what timescale, anyone know how long it normally takes for the review to be completed. Finally anyone else have experience with an additional charge at the Krabi office? Cost us 3000 bahts each.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user obtained a 60-day COVID extension at the Krabi immigration office and was informed to return by May 1st. They are asking if they can visit a different immigration office for the required follow-up. Commenters clarified that the under consideration stamp must be closed at the same office where it was issued, meaning the user needs to return to Krabi. Additionally, there were discussions about possible overcharging for the extension, which is typically around 1,900 baht.

You have to “close” the under consideration stamp at the same office that issued it. No other office will do that for you. If they’ve given you a date then plan your travels around that date and go back on the day. BTW sounds like you were scammed all extensions are 1,900 baht - unless they fined you for something else like no TM30 or something.

They would have given you a receipt (blue/green paper) for the under consideration stamp to use when you go back. What monetary amount was on that?

you cannot go to a different immigration office to get the "loop closed" on an under consideration stamp for a 60 day covid extension

SO I see a return trip to Krabi in May for you :)

you shouldn't have paid that extra money (especially because they didn't issue the extension on the spot) ALL extensions are 1900baht in the country at every office no matter the length of time they're issued for
