ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey. Went to MTT today as visa was expiring on Feb 27 and wanted to get in before the Jan 29 deadline. Got my under consideration done after a long wait thankfully but it is dated Feb 10. I was hoping that my extension would from my date of expiry but does this mean it will only be from my date of application?

Maybe should have gone somewhere else like Samui

Thanks in advance

Community members provided insights suggesting that the process is standard, indicating that the user should return for the remainder of the extension, but clarified that it’s uncertain whether the extension would be for 30 or 60 days.

My previous covid extension. I wrote I was applying for 60 days due to covid pandemic on multiple forms. I expected the under consideration to be in March if it was being extended from my date of expiration. Guess I'll have to wait and find out. Thank you

As a quick aside, did you get your last extension here, the same immigration office?

My previous under consideration experience was the same timewise. The trip out almost felt like a waste. Good to hear you got days added on top. Hoping for the same, thanks

I was in and out of MTT in under 20 minutes when I completed my u/c stamp last week. Came away with 60 days on top of my existing stamp.
