I think it is been asked before, but I not have seen or read it.

I got the stamp, under considerationin my passport.

How long generally, does it take to get the approval?

Waiting for 2 weeks now....
Answer summary
The duration for visa extension approval in Thailand can vary. One user reported receiving their extension stamp six weeks after submission, with their stamp under consideration showing up after the initial wait. Additionally, it's noted that applicants should check the expiration date on their stamp, as approvals may not involve direct contact from immigration. Instead, one should return to the immigration office before the stamp's expiration for further processing.

When does it say that stamp expires?

They don't contact you for approval, you show up at the immigration office on the date that stamp runs out and they ink in the extension.

got it, thanks.

It says 23rd October. So have to wait a week more.

Didn't expect it would take this long.

Thanks for the quick reply though

yes I know that but I get the impression it's usually 1 month. I thought it was a mistake when I saw 2 months but it wasn't

it's up to EACH individual Thai Immigration office to set their own Under Consideration time period.

Most under consideration stamps are for 30 days

However, if it's from bangkok immigrations they went to 21 day under consideration stamps over a year ago.

Just show up at the immigration office on the date that stamp runs out and you can get the year extension inked in

you're almost thru the process 🙂
