Happy Monday!
Well, it’s official. 31 July is the new extension end date. All the details and things you can get all over the place. My thing is this...don’t slay the messenger.
As I walked in the morning, I found out that now CM
Immigration wants everyone with an “Under Consideration” stamp to come in and get it finalized. So, come on down. Head to area 1 and follow their directives.
Apologies for the inconvenience, but as with this whole process, things change. I trumpeted what I was told at the time, so here is the new guidance and the trumpet blast.
TLDR : Answer Summary
On July 31, a new immigration guideline was issued regarding visa extensions in Thailand. Those with an 'Under Consideration' stamp are required to finalize their status at the CM Immigration office as protocols have changed. However, experiences vary by location; some offices, such as Pattaya and Buriram, do not require individuals to go through this process. Discussions indicate that despite extensions available until July 31, different immigration offices have distinct requirements regarding attendance and fees. Several expats are confused about whether they need to visit immigration due to inconsistent information being provided.
