Question about pick up date for under consideration stamp. I’m going to apply for extension next month so just trying to plan a little bit if possible.

30 days from my current stamp falls on a Sunday. Do you think Immigration will have the pick up date for the remaining 11 months be on Friday or on Monday? Does anybody have experience with this? That would be extremely helpful and I am aware that it will ultimately just come down to Immigration‘s decision.

The reason I’m asking is because I am hoping to take a flight on that Saturday out of the country. So ideally, I would like to pick it up on Friday if possible and I will ask Immigration to do that. Just looking for anyone’s previous experience. Thank you. 

Hi everyone, I’d love to hear your experiences regarding a Non-B visa extension in Chiang Mai.

I currently hold a 1 year Non-B visa being the director of my own company here. My current permission of stay expires on November 14th, and I would like to extend it for another year.

However, I have a long trip planned during October-December, so I’m trying to figure out the best timing for the extension.

I know that I can submit the extension application up to 45 days before the expiry date but I'm not sure about they giving me a 30-day “under consideration” stamp first, followed by the full 1 year extension after review a month later...

Does anyone have recent experience with this process? Is the 30-day under consideration stamp the standard practice or they can give me the 1 year right away? How flexible are they if travel is involved during the renewal process?

Any tips or advice would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hello. I’m wondering if anyone has ever been able to get an “under consideration” stamp for a couple days earlier than what it should be when applying for one year extension? Ex: they want you to come on Monday but you ask to get it on the previous Thursday or Friday instead. Reasoning being need to fly out of country over the weekend.

Thanks.

I have a question concerning the under consideration for the extension of stay based on marriage in Chiang Mai. It will be my 2nd yearly extension. At the first extension (of the original visa) I got the under consideration stamp on top of the remaining days on my visa, which was more then 2 months after I applied. Is it the same for the 2nd extension or will the under consideration period end 30 days after I applied.

I‘m not all the time in Thailand, so I need to plan my travel accordingly.

Thanks in advance for an answer

I have a pending consideration stamp in my passport. We plan to leave Thailand for an overseas trip. Will my visa application be cancelled? Google search says it will. Anyone have any experience with this?

On Nov 26th thai visa posted all immigration offices

closed after dec 27th

until Jan 2

My under consideration stamp is for Dec 28th

Should I attempt to go on 27th and hopefully not be turned away?

It's a long drive to Udon Thani from khumphawapl!

I guess calling is an option, any way always get great advice on this site!

Appreciate any advice!

I have the stamp for underconsideration being for 1 year extension of stay based on marriage. Been doing this for 10 years now. Today recieved a phone call from immigration wanting an update on bankbook. The required funds have always been in the bank and on appplication for extension letters from the bank were produced as required along with all the other documents required. This year was the first time the immigration police did not come to our home as they normally do after application. So it seems like they are now checking on funds whilst under consideration. I went to the bank to update the bankbook at the ATM and supplied copies to immigration of which they wanted the same day Immigration in my province. did say that Immigration in BKK is making it harder. All documents are sent to BKK for approval. So lets see what happens now.

Hi guys just like to say I got my Extension of Stay stamped in my passport (marriage) and a re-entry permit today. Pattani Immigration Office.

And I asked a few questions that I have been confused about and this Thai Visa Advice may have been a little confused about.

So Questions asked from me to do with EofS (marriage)

1. About Handouts (what you need for application) and process explained for your EofS marriage and related questions.

I asked if the handout shows everything you need to hand in at your application date? He said yes and he went and got one and it was as it’s always been and standard from what I’ve always done and shown.

2. To do with Under Consideration Stamp.

Why and what is the reason for the Under Consideration stamp? He’s reply. On the date you pay and put your application in to immigration office needs time to examine and checked the paperwork is correct at the time of the application with the issues of the paperwork if necessary. This doesn’t happen overnight. This is to check and why you sign everything single piece of paper in your application. You are saying it’s not false and it is true on that date. If we find a mistake or something maybe more serious we will contact you to do with what we think is wrong with the application paperwork and discuss if it can be corrected. Or for a more serious reason of not issuing and rejecting the person EofS (marriage) application

Then I asked about the ฿400,000 seasoning time is ? he said it’s 2 months.

I then asked when coming back to get my EofS inked in what do I have to bring with me? He said what you brought with you today. This was myself and my passport.

Then I asked if the paperwork was all correct. Is there any reason why I should have keep the ฿400,000 seasoned money after the 2 months? He said NO. And pointed to the handout and process.

He asked why I had asked? I said because I hear people giving advice saying you should.

He’s replied with a smile and said you are obviously not get correct advice.

Being married means you could need the money immediately after the 2 months seasoning for a number of personal family reasons or emergency.

If for some reason they wanted to see your bank book again for any reason as long as you can prove it was season for the 2 months the day after that you can do what you like with it. This would have been looked at on the day of application. So as long as that was not false on that day. You are ok to do what you like.

Happy Days hope this advice helps

Went to immigrations yesterday with my wife in Phichit . Submitted all the paperwork for my one year extension, and received my under consideration stamp. My 90 day visa expires on January 31. The immigration officer put a date of March 1 on my under consideration stamp. She said that the, under consideration stamp must be 30 days after the expiration of my visa. So I am assuming that the under consideration stamp is acting like a 30 day extension to my visa. Is that correct? One other question when my one year extension gets approved will it be one year from the date that I applied or one year from the date that it was approved?

Hello. My mariage visa is finishing on 10may. I understand i can ask the renewal 45 day before (bkk). The under consideration period will be the same? 21day. Or i will have to come back on the birthday date (10may) to get the one year visa stamp? thank you in advance.
