Hey everyone!

Does anyone know if Bkk immigration do the 14 days under consideration stamp on a vivid extension, or if you get your visa right away.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around the processing of visa extensions at Bangkok immigration. It highlights varying experiences regarding whether applicants receive their visas immediately or if they face a 14-day 'under consideration' stamp. Several users shared that recently Bangkok does issue under consideration stamps, while others reported quicker processing times when using an agent.

If you apply with agent, there's no 'under consideration' bullshit. 60 day stamp takes 1 day and its finished. They collect passport and drop off to your hotel, no tedious travel all the way out to that rediculous, remote immigration office. Did mine in bkk last week with agent 5500 baht

Okay thanks, I appreciate it! I will do it here in Chiang Mai even though it's 14 days under consideration. 😊

I went to apply for my 2nd covid visa extension on the 25th.

I got it straight away the first time but this time I'm "under consideration" and will have to wait till I go pick it up on the 19th.

Best of luck

Post yesterday from someone who got theirs at IT Square and they had a 30 day under consideration stamp.

do I need to go back to the same office after the 30 days consideration? I did it at IT Square BKK yesterday and got the under consideration stamp and I got to report in person again on 25 May… but I want to travel to Phuket instead of staying in Bangkok.. can I report to the Phuket immigration office on 25 May instead of Bangkok?

It has to be the same office to “close out” the stamp.
