Hi, I've just applied for my first COVID extension (my visa expires 28 of march). Eventually they have given me a stamp to come back on 12 april because my application is under consideration. I've applied at Ranong immigration office. Does this mean that I might need to leave the country that day? I have no idea why they want to consider my application for 2 weeks. Anyone else experiences with this?
Answer summary
The user has applied for a COVID visa extension at the Ranong immigration office and received an 'under consideration' stamp, requiring them to return on April 12th. They are uncertain about the implications of this stamp and whether they need to leave the country on that date. Comments indicate that this situation is normal and that they can expect to receive the remainder of their visa period upon their return. Additionally, the user inquires about TM 30 registration status at their hotel while waiting for the extension.

One additional question. I've applied in Ranong after checking in at a hotel here. Do I have to be registered (tm 30) at the same hotel until 12 april? Or check in there again at 11 April? I'm staying in a neighboring district, but this is the nearest immigration office...

Thanks very much, glad I'm not the only one with this experience and from your messages it seems that it will work out fine. 🙏

Be sure to return as instructed on April 12th .. You will get the balance of 60 days.

Perfectly normal, when you go back you will get the remainder of the 60 days

Under consideration stamp is a usual practice (depending on the visa up to 30 days). Usually you’ll be fine.
