What should I do after receiving an under consideration stamp for my covid extension visa in Thailand?

My only suggestion is to to rent a plane ticket simply to meet their requirements. You can Google "onward travel ticket" and for about $10 they will give you a fully valid plane ticket that you can use for whatever purpose you need, and then they will cancel it.

I would get one for exactly 60 days away since if you got it earlier you might risk them only stamping you until the date of your flight. That gives you 60 days to try and figure something else out or figure out how to use a different office for your next extension.

I want to caution EVERY person who uses the Samut Prakan immigration office for covid extensions.

IF they give you a hard time, or tell you to do xxx or yyy and come back AND you take the under consideration stamp from them you're locked into them win, lose, or draw and no other office will touch that 'open' stamp until you go back to close the loop on it at the Samut Prakan office.

I would say IF you use that office and they give you a hard time just walk out and look for an alternate way to get a covid extension from a different immigration office. DO NOT let them rope you into using them by taking that under consideration stamp from them if you can help it.

That is NOT a user friendly office to deal with and sadly I have no advice as far as what you should do 😕

Remember those covid extensions are totally discretionary and it's not an automatic thing that you get one. Still most offices have been handing them out without too much problem since they started issuing them back on Nov 1st 2020.

Unfortunately once you took that under consideration stamp you locked yourself in to using that office. 😮

There's not any way to go to another easier office to apply for the extension now, because you have an 'open' under consideration stamp that can only be 'closed' by the office that issued it 🙁

What immigration office did you use? (Not Samut Prakan was it?)
