ORIGINAL POSTERHappy 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
The new guidance for foreigners with an 'Under Consideration' stamp in Chiang Mai Immigration is to come in and finalize their status due to changes in immigration policy. The end date for extensions has been officially set for July 31. It's advised to check with local immigration offices for specific requirements, as procedures may vary across locations in Thailand.

So what the point, I thought they wanted less people at immigration that’s why they also made the amnesty...🤔

Thank you Mike for the update 😊 I am currently waiting to get my Non B visa. At the moment I cannot leave Thailand to go to a Thai Embassy to get this visa? Is it possible to get the Non B visa at Chiang Mai Immigration or must I wait until I can travel to another country?

@Lynne *******
you cannot get another NonB inside Thailand.Reply to
