What Should I Do About 'Under Consideration Stamps' and the April 30th Amnesty in Thailand?

👍

Is there a telephone # for the immigration office in Bangkok? I want to call and ask them, i have been hearing different versions.. on other forums people say that those "under considerstion" dont need to go as the rules applies to theses cases as well,

Thanks for the advice

@Tod ********

my tourist visa ends today april 12 , i went to immigration in Si Racha Chon Buri on friday april 10 to extend it 1 month and after 3 hours of them telling me go to this window that window they finally started posting flyers saying no fees, no need to come for extension because everyone will get an extended visa till april 30 , was i suppose to get a stamp extension from them because im super confused and they seemed just as confused 🤦‍♂️. Ended up leaveing with out my stamp and super worried that ill end up having to pay a fine

What i do if it is a lockdown and ican not go to immigration office do i have to pay for overstay ?

My under consideration stamps says to go back on 17th April. But Phuket is going to be on total lockdown from 13th -26th April. Nobody is allowed to leave their house at all. I am in Chalong, which is currently on district lockdown also. So how can I go to immigration?

Well done on the update

@Tod ********

My under consideration stamp says to come back on April 19th which I just noticed is a Sunday! So, do I go back the Friday before, or on the 20th?

I have done one NORMAL(non-covid) extension that expires on 21-April, then no need to go to Chaeng Wattana (Div 1) ?

Thanks for the recommendations! So if I have done one NORMAL(non-covid) extension that expires on 23-April, then no need to go to Chaeng Wattana (Div 1) ?

Can you still go to the Immigration office in Pattaya even on lockout?

Coming from Bang Saray

I had 15 days "under consideration" from March 23 till April 7th. Then I came to get another 15 days. They tald me that my application is not ready yet and put another stamp "under consideration" for 13 more days till 20th of April. It was in Phangan , when they came for 2 days. And after they announced amnesty I came again on 9th, they tald me that my "under consideration" stamps are ok and I can stay untill April 30. And I couldn't extend my last stamp as my application wasn't still ready (" under consideration") as they said.

So anyway I cannot go to immigration any more as Samui is almost closed.

And just for your information, after "under consideration stamp" people get the normal one, if application was approved. After that normal one you can apply again with embassy letter and money.

And it would be really no logic if they won't give amnesty to people, who have "under consideration" stamp as even those who had overstay before March 26 can get amnesty after paying overstay.

Chiang Mai’s stance is those guys are covered. They turned people away at the entrance that were coming to get their stamps, which, in most cases, would get them a stamped date BEFORE the 30th.

Again, ONLY in Chiang Mai.

is immigration in chiang mai open today?

Another reason to go to the immigration office before the 30th, even if you may be covered by the amnesty, is that there are no queues there now and you will avoid the hassle of having to go later when everyone has to go at the same time.

Thanks
