I went to submit my TM47 today to Sa Kaeo immigration in Aranyaprathet. I had all my copies of the required documents signed and ready plus my 1900B. After 30 minutes I was leaving with my 30 day extension stamped in my passport not the Under Consideration I expected. I entered visa exempt on 18-Jul via the Phuket Sandbox. Another thing was I didn't have to sign a STM7 Overstay form which I was expecting.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user successfully submitted their TM47 (90-day report) for a 30-day extension at Sa Kaeo immigration but mistakenly believed it was for an under-consideration visa extension. Community members clarified that the TM47 is not related to extensions and that the STM7 form is for overstays. They noted that there is no under-consideration period for tourist visa extensions and praised the efficiency of the Aranyaprathet immigration office.

I have only done the extension once before about 4 years ago but I was under the impression that all extensions now got the Under Consideration stamp first, obviously not.

Graham Seal. A tourist visa or visa-exempt extension has always been a very straightforward and speedy transaction. Some non-immigrant and covid extensions get under consideration, but never a tourist.
but your not on overstay. In these Covid times your initial entry on visa exempt is actually 45 days rather than 30

The TM47 is the 90 day report. These are free to submit, but there isn't any additional time granted on your existing stay.
