What is the process for receiving an 'under consideration' stamp for the COVID visa in Thailand?
Has anyone received an 'under consideration' stamp for the presumed 60-day COVID visa?
Answer summary
Many individuals have reported receiving an 'under consideration' stamp for the COVID-19 visa, which initially grants a 15-day review period followed by a 45-day extension upon return. However, some immigration offices offer the full 60-day visa outright for a higher fee. The process can vary by location, with some offices operating differently than others, leading to confusion and mixed experiences.

They "took"?
You should have handed over 100 Baht bills one at a time, gingerly.

There are a few immigration offices that will give you the 60 days right off the bat, Samui/Surat thani was doing it for 3000baht rather than 1900 and so was the Pai immigration office up north.
Chiang Mai WAS doing it but they stopped and went back to under consideration stamps,

Yes, most immigration offices issue them that way. 15 days under consideration and then 45 days when you come back. Don't ask why, there's no logic in it and just increases the congestion and work load at immigration offices.

I got a 15 days "under consideration" stamp last time I applied, but the officer told me to come back the day after to get my full extension. The reason was that the signing officer was gone to Bangkok for a meeting.

When do you have to pay for the extension then? When you get the under consideration stamp or when you come back to get the 45 days? I've been to immigration office today and had to pay right away, got no receipt or anything and I am wondering if they will make me pay again when I come back to get the remaining 45 days 🤔

@Ken ********
you pay when you APPLY, they give you the under consideration stamp and you just give your passport when you come back nothing more AND
You should always get that blue/green receipt paper showing you paid 1900baht

Isn't it because all applications have to be approved from Division 1 in Bangkok since the amnesty last year? Garrett ***********
@Ste****
First I've heard that.Garrett ***********
@Ste****
I hear a lot of things from a lot of people. Never heard that before. Bangkok doesn't have to approve extensions for other immigration offices. Stephan ***********
@Garrett **********
That's what Phuket Immigration told to friends. Or maybe it's about the ongoing problems with their IT-Systems?
