ORIGINAL POSTER

Report - Under Consideration extension Hua Hin

My under consideration stamp was until April 20. I went to the Immigration office on that day and yes they do expect you to return as it seems they do not include Under Consideration stamps as part of the amnesty. The rub is that my original 30 day extension expired on March 29 so they added the maximum 30 days to that date so my expiry date is now April 28!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The original question discusses the implications of receiving an 'Under Consideration' stamp at the Immigration Office in Hua Hin, noting that it does not qualify for the amnesty and could lead to complications if not addressed timely. The comments clarify that having a new stamp indicating an extension is necessary to avoid overstays and fines.

Exactly the same thing just happened to me, hopefully they make a sensible decision at the end of the month

No problems, I just wanted to make sure anyone else in the same position follows the advice already given by you guys to go to the immigration office and not trust to luck that they will be covered by the Amnesty. My guess is that I hadn't gone I would have had an overstay fine starting from April 21 and that could cause further complications in the future.

but at least NOW you should have a stamp that says "extension of stay permitted until" in your passport and NOT an "under consideration" stamp meaning you ARE covered until the 30th on the "free-2-stay until the 30th" blanket amnesty.
