What should I do if my Covid-19 extension application is under consideration until March 10th?
Hi,
Just back from a busier than expected Chiang Mai office with the intension of applying for a Covid-19 extension. My permission to stay stamp expires Feb 27th. So going today seemed a good time to apply. All forms correctly completed and accepted. However, i was told that my application for the Covid-19 extension was under consideration and i should return to immigration on March 10th to be told if the extension would be granted.(the March 10 is stamped in my passport) They took my 1,900 baht and explained if i was refused i would forfeit this fee. I'm now concerned. Should i be?

I’m closing comments. Different immigration offices do have different policies when it comes to these extension of stays. However, I never heard of anyone being rejected for this extension of stay before.
Ask your local immigration office what their policy is for getting an under consideration stamp for this extension

Like he said ^^^
Every application goes under consideration 1st, then you go back and get your stamp.
