I'm currently on a 1 year non-o based on raising thai child visa which will end in January. This is my first year on that visa so when I got it I received 1 month "under consideration", someone from the immigration came to my place to see if everything is legit and after that I got the other 11 months stamped.

My question:

Will I get again the 1 month stamp or directly 12? 

Responsible immigration is the one in Chiang Mai. I called them but they just send me around and couldn't give me a clear answer. In summer I  went to the south with my kid to avoid the smoke hence my tm30 changed for a while but is now back to my initial place when I did the visa.

Answer summary

The user is currently on a 1-year Non-O visa for raising a Thai child, which is set to expire in January and wonders if they will receive another 1-month 'under consideration' stamp upon renewal or a direct 12-month extension. A comment clarifies that typically, for this visa type, a 30-day 'under consideration' stamp is always issued during the extension application process, although subsequent renewals usually do not involve an in-home visit.

No matter where you apply for the extension that visa type ALWAYS gets a 30 day under consideration stamp when you apply for a new one.

BUT

usually after the first year they don't do the in home visit

I have a follow up question!

Once you receive the 30 day under consideration stamp before the 1 year , can you leave the country for a short business trip with a re entry permit ?

Your answers will be much appreciated

as ellie said

@SY ****

when you apply for the extension tell them of the trip so if there is a home visit they can coordinate it with you..

@SY ****

, you can as

@T**

says. But better to contact your local immigration office about your trip abroad during the under-consideration period BEFORE you travel as there are possibilities they might contact you during this period.

@SY ****

good question (y)

yes, you can travel during that period

AND

yes, you would need to buy a re-entry permit.

That permit would only be valid for the under consideration stamp's validity.
