What if someone has the Covid under consideration stamp but leaves the country before the date to return to the Immigration office? Is there any problem when leaving the country before the date you are supposed to go back to Immigration?

thanks very much.

I had no problem using agoda to book my hotel in November for Test and Go in Phuket. I just uploaded a screen shot of the booking confirmation from agoda and that was accepted for the Thai Pass.

They are called Non O or Non O-A visas for the purpose of retirement.

You might not be allowed to board your flight because your return flight is not within the 30-day period of stay the Visa Exempt stamp offers. Best to have a return flight booked within 30 days that you can change after arrival. Or get a tourist visa before coming.

You might want to apply again for the Thailand Pass to see if that hurries things up. Some people say you should not do this because it slows down the system but I was afraid I had not submitted the correct insurance certificate so I did a second application. I got two approvals the following day.

the onward ticket service gets you a ticket to show the airline staff that you have a departing ticket from Thailand. The reservation will be canceled either within 48 hours or 14 days of when you pay the company for the ticket. These ticket services are not designed to actually fly. They cost from about $10~$40 depending on the company and whether you get a ticket for 48 hours or 14 days. You can buy a 60 day round trip ticket back home, so long as you can show you will be leaving Thailand within the time of your visa. A simpler plan for you would be to apply for a 60-day tourist visa. Then you would not need to deal with an onward flight company.

your departing or onward flight from Thailand must be within the period of your visa. For example, if you get a visa exemption stamp on arrival, it is good for 30 days. Your departing ticket from Thailand must be 30 days or less from your arrival date. The onward ticket cannot include any planned visa extensions.
