What should I expect after applying for a one-year extension on a Non-B visa in Thailand?

Visa Extension Non-B Visa Immigration Process

Feb 5, 2020

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, I went to my local immigration office and applied [within Thailand] for an extension of 1 year on a non B visa after I got my work permit [for teaching] and they took all the documents and application form etc and they said that I should go back in 1 week - which is on the day my visa stamp expires. They don't usually take that long to process so I wondered whether anyone thinks this indicates a problem or could it just be they are busy?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user applied for a one-year extension on their Non-B visa and is concerned about the duration of the processing time at the immigration office. Comments suggest that it is common to receive a 30-day under consideration stamp and that the extension may be backdated to the application date.

I would say that it's nothing and if I was a betting man I'd bet when you do go back next week the year extension will be dated from today (the date you applied for the extension)

Actually many people get a 30 day under consideration stamp and have to go back in a month and get the year extension inked in.

Did they take your 1900baht and give you a receipt?
