I just applied for a 60 day extension to my TR60 from Muang Thong Thani now. They stamped under consideration and that I must come back on 4th Feb (so in 10 days). Any probability of this not being considered and being rejected??

Thanks a lot you put me at ease

@Tomoghno ******
nope, stop being paranoid, show back up on the 4th and get your extension inked inTod *********
Okay, let's sort this out. The O/P already HAD a covid extension that was good until Feb 28th. Then went back to C/M immigrations and applied for a NEW one (because in C/M you can apply for a new extension when you have 45 days or less left on your current one). They received an under consideration stamp that says they report back on MARCH 15 because that's 14 days AFTER their current covid extension expires.

So just be aware of that this works for ONLY the people who are in the area of immigration offices who issue new Covid extension 'adding' to your current stamp.. not at all immigration offices in Thailand...

This post is an excellent example of how an under consideration stamp is ADDED to the extension you have (as long as you're applying for the new extension for the same reason)
AND
It's a good example how you can maximize the covid extensions before the police order allowing them runs out on the 29th of Jan by applying at offices who allow you to apply 45 days before your current stamp expires

It requests the applicant to go back in person on the 15th of March which means they will stay beyond the 28th of February. So does this allow the applicant to stay from Feb 28 till Mar 15?

@Dan***
, yep that under consideration stamp is actually the first 14 days of their next extension. Pam *******
I also went to CM today and received same thing, "under consideration" until Feb 12. Was told I'd get 45 more days then.

@Pam ******
and what extension were you on when you applied for this current covid extension?Pam *******
@Tod ********
I have been on CoVid extension since coming off of amnesty. I entered on visa exempt in Mar 2020. US passport. Pam *******

@Pam ******
and when did your current stamp expire BEFORE you got the under consideration stamp?
Veet ********
Were you asked to submit an embassy letter of support? And have you asked if your extension will be a 60 day or a 30 day after your current one expires on 28Feb?
Bill *******
OPNo embassy letter needed
Tod *********
@Vit ********
there is no 30 anymore. people are getting a 60 day covid extension and seeing as they were on the covid extension before this application their extension will start from the 28th of Feb, (they should get stamped in until April 29th when they go back)
