Ask question

Do holders of the under consideration stamp need to visit immigration while those on VOA or regular 30-day extensions do not?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion confirms that individuals with an 'under consideration' stamp may need to visit immigration, but this requirement varies by embassy and region in Thailand. Those with visa on arrival (VOA) or regular 30-day extension stamps appear to be exempt from mandatory visits until July 30. Several users share their experiences and communications with immigration offices, highlighting inconsistencies in information provided by officials.

and I guess you'll find out if that's really true or not when you try to stamp out on an "under consideration" stamp rather than the "extension of stay" stamp that you get when you were supposed to go back on the date your first stamp expires

Yes, if you DON'T have an under-consideration stamp, you DON'T have to go to immigration.

No, not true, it's embassy dependent. What i've just learn is that u need to complete the process in the same embassy that u got ur under consideration from. Also, some embassy like Phuket still don't ask people to go complete the process. I think also Samui and some more. Chiang Mai now ask to go but there is no overstay if u go late so u go when u can. I am in Khon Kaen but did under consideration in CM because I had to get Canadian embassy letter there. I cannot go to CM atm and embassy understand.
