ORIGINAL POSTER

Asking for a friend of a friend. They went under consideration at a mobile office for suratthani and are now in bkk without closing the loop. If they go to surthani to close it at this point they are past the under consideration return date.  Can they reapply in bkk for a 30 day extension? Is there some way to fix this?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A person who is under consideration for a visa at an immigration office in Surat Thani must return there to "close the loop" before any extensions can be granted, including a 30-day extension in Bangkok. Once they obtain the necessary stamp at the Surat Thani office, they will receive a new stamp until the end of November and may then apply for a 60-day extension afterwards.

When they do go get that 'loop closed' stamp they will get stamped in until the 30th of Nov, THEN when that's running out they can see about getting a 60 day extension after that..

they won't get ANY extension at any immigration office until they go back to the immigration office in Surat Thani (or Samui) and get that "loop closed"
