How can I get my visa stamp updated under the recent Amnesty extension in Thailand?

Okay people, step away from the keyboard, take a deep breath and WAIT for the official approval AND for immigration offices to know what they're supposed to be doing before you run back to them to get your stamp adjusted.

SIT TIGHT, wait it out..

The way it will work IS

IF you applied for a 30 day embassy request extension of stay BEFORE the 26th of Sept (which means you got an 'under consideration' stamp) when you go back to get it changed to an extension of stay stamp they should date it until Nov 30.

IF you already went back and got the under consideration stamp changed to an extension of stay stamp (closed the loop) you can go back to the immigration office and get that stamp updated to the 30th of Nov.

BUT

I'd sure wait a while before I ran over to the immigration office to make sure that this really does get approved AND more importantly that your immigration office knows how and what to do

At this time the amnesty has NOT been officially approved (we're still waiting on Prayuth to sign it and for it to be published in the Royal Gazette).
