What should I do if my under consideration stamp is expiring on a weekend and I can't reach immigration in time?
My previous post was deleted before it was approved. That's ok. I will try again and cut to the chase.
My under consideration stamp, on extension based on marriage is cut short by a weekend, even though the correct day would be a monday, counting 30 days from my current stamp expires. That particular weekend I have to travel from Bangkok to north east, so can't make it to immigration before monday. Technically I guess it's not overstaying, but the stamp will be expired. My local immigration is okay with that, but could it potentially get me into trouble if stopped somewhere on the way home?

I see a call to the immigration office on Tuesday (the first day they're open after this holiday)
I have seen immigration offices cancel the extension for people that didn't contact them or bother to show up on the date (even if it was just a day later).
Definitely contact them BEFORE you just don't show up on the correct date.
As an aside; The 30 day under consideration stamp in your passport shouldn't end on a weekend, they're usually pretty good about it.

my current stamp expires 3rd october. Counting 30 days from that is monday 2nd November. But they insisted it should be friday 30th October. I did explain my situation, that I have last school day 30th October, and cant make it from Bangkok to Buengkan after school friday. They said no problem for me to come monday. So my question is, what if I have to show my passport during that weekend. In hotel, at road points etc.Tod *********
