What does it mean when my Non B visa application is under consideration after I have paid?

Hello everyone! Just a question. I applied for a Non B visa inside thailand. I had my non b before and work permit , But I cut it already, went to cambodia for a border run and extended another 30 days to the local immigration. Today, I processed my non b visa, paid already but told me to go back on August 4. Why is that? Is this okay? Please respect my post. Thank you đŸ™đŸ» I thought i would receive the non b stamp right away

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user has applied for a Non B visa in Thailand, following a border run to Cambodia, and is awaiting processing of their application. They were informed that their visa is currently 'under consideration,' which is a common procedure where immigration checks the legitimacy of employment and other details. Other commenters confirm that this is a standard process and assure the user that it typically does not indicate any serious issues.

Its a normal process they stamp it as underconsideration after one month visa is issued nothing to worry

I had the same thing when applying for covid visa, it just means you have to go back and waste another day standing in line

It's not an extention, its the visa and it's under consideration, which is quite normal, many imm offices do it for everyone, even non imm O's for retirement and marriage, it doesnt mean they have doubts.

The under consideration stamp you got gives them time to check if your job is ligitimate, as they seem to have some doubt. When you were working before under your old type B did you file your Thai income taxes, like you should have?

The under consideration stamp is given for various visas/extensions. Marriage usually 100% as they need to arrange a home visit. Covid

depending on office or the time of day, but for business it’s almost certainly not that they’re checking you have a “valid application” or legitimate job as you infer. Just that that office doesn’t have the authority to sign off on those visas or extensions. They ship the paperwork to their head office who are allowed to authorise it. The under consideration stamp is just to allow time for that to happen.

Don’t worry, my husband had his Non B in the county. You cannot get Non B stamp at the same day. He went back to the immigration office on the date he was told to go back.

@Zen ****
yes for that type of visa extension. If you had this visa before, why did you do a border run?

are you sure about this? This is crazy 😄 they asked me to pay already but they are still not sure if my documents and job are legitimate. Now im getting worried, we had rought time in the immigration because they keep requesting to get this or change that etc. but we gave them all on time, now im wondering if ill get it or not đŸ˜©

if you have a ligitimate job, and the employer supplied all the required documents, then you should get it. If you are trying to do it under one of these shady sponsorship schemes, and you don't really work, then maybe not. You must have a real job, and that employer must be able to legally meet the requirements for your work permit.

yes, i am so sure about my documents and my employer, the immigration told me "just go directly to window 4 for the stamp on august 4"

I just wondered why I needed to wait until august to get the stamp
