Correct.

Although your next extension application may be under review, you'll actually be leaving and returning within the period of stay already granted.
It may raise a few eyebrows on re-entry, just point to your existing permission of stay and ensure they don't give you a 30 day VE stamp, thinking they are doing you a favour, rather than stamping you in for the 3//4 days permission of stay already granted.

Thanks for the info - good to know that the under consideration stamp doesn't invalidate any previously granted permission to stay.

Similar.

Some years ago, I submitted my extension application based on Thai spouse 43 days prior to the validity of my extension and received an under consideration stamp dated 30 days after my current extension expiry date (73 days). I was then informed of a family bereavement.
I returned to my IO for a re-entry permit and questioned the validity. I was informed, provided I return before my extension expiry date it was valid.
Returning on 8th with an extension dated the 8th, and an under consideration stamp dated until the 10th of the following month, it raised a few eyebrows on re-entry.
The entry clearance officer called a supervisor, they shrugged their shoulders, and he pointed to my existing extension.
They stamped me in for 2 days until 10th.

So if I apply on the 20th May with an under consideration period until 20th June and I return back on 4th June using my existing extension/re-entry permit, it is likely they will stamp me in for just a few days until the 8th June (expiration of my initial extension) and then I will remain in Thailand 'under consideration' until the 20th?

Just re-reading some of the suggestions properly.

So it looks as though my initial plan will be ok to go out and back into Thailand using my existing re-entry permit during the under consideration period for my new extension.

This would be my preference as it means I am not leaving it until the last minute to apply for the new extension and also means I can use the multiple re-entry permit one last time before my existing extension expires. 

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
Applying for the extension when I get back was something I had considered - I just don't like usually leaving it until the very end of the existing extension in case there is something I forget to include when submitting and then need to go back the next day.

But I should be able to get it all in order so this would probably be the best approach.

My understanding is that the "Under Consideration" period counts as a new extension and so invalidates the existing Re-entry Permit. I've been wrong in the past mind.

 

So, whatever his dates are he will need a re-entry permit for the under-consideration period.

 

Of course, you can guarantee that, if you ask your immigration office and they say "no need", you will meet an officer at the airport with the opposite opinion.

 

IMHO it's worth the cost of a single re-entry permit to remove all doubt.

 

Yes - maybe it would be better to get a new re-entry permit to be on the safe side

Your multi re-enter permit is valid until the expiry date of your current extension, that being 8th June.

Provided you return prior to that date, and you've indicated returning 4th June, then you're OK.

 

If you weren't returning until after your current extension expires, but within the under consideration period, then you'd require a separate re-entry permit for that under consideration period. It appears from your post that your IO date the 30-day under consideration period from the date of application, whereas my IO always date the 30-day under consideration period 30 days from expiry of the extension.

Thanks for the info.

I wasn't sure if I would just need to get another re-entry permit that aligns with the under consideration stamp even though I already have one for my current stay and will be travelling out and back in within that original extension time frame.

As for when the under consideration period is stamped from, I looked at my stamp from last time and it was 30 days from the day that I applied - but it must vary depending on the office.

My current extension based on marriage is good until 8th June 2024.
I already have a multiple re-entry permit which allows me to come in and out of Thailand until this extension expires.
I have plans to go away for a long weekend outside of Thailand at the very end of May, arriving back around 4th of June.

My plan is to apply for my new extension based on marriage around 20th May as I understand it can be done up to a month in advance of the current extension expiring.
From past experience this will mean I get an 'under consideration stamp' requesting me to return to immigration on 20th June. The reason for applying around 20th May is that I guess that the house visit will subsequently be planned to take place once I am back from my trip.

Will it be ok for me to go out and back into Thailand during this under consideration period? The dates of travel as mentioned above fall within my current extension and I have a re-entry permit already.

And I will of course tell immigration of my plans when submitting my new extension application, so that any house visit by the officers doesn't coincide with when I am away.

Just wondering if this plan sounds ok or if somehow the application of my new extension will alter my existing re-entry permit and/or expiry date of my current extension of stay?

It's for Chonburi immigration (if that makes any difference)

Thanks in advance

Pupen is very popular for seafood.
The Kebabist is a good quite new Indian place in Jomtien. Indian By Nature also great. Masala Twist decent too. 

When I saw the title I thought you would be looking for an American handyman.
Was expecting comments about work permits not being given to foreigners for such occupations. 

Thanks Steve - I will take a look

Ok thanks for the info and the rough price range - definitely would be wanting to avoid any cowboys as have heard horror stories.
Do you know what the typical construction time is for something like this?
It will be in the Pattaya area but for later on in the year - just wanted to do a bit of research now to see what to expect and then go and get some quotes etc in a couple of months from now

Could anyone tell me approximately what it would cost to get the following pool built?

And also the estimated actual construction time?

8x4m overflow salt water pool

I appreciate that price and build time could vary depending on many things - but just looking for some ballpark estimates based on anyone with recent experience of current costs etc.

Try a Christmas market. Most big cities will have them on 

Try putting ' - ' in the TM6 box

I think after 5 days she can pay to do another test to potentially end home quarantine early, doing the 'Test to release' option.

Check this link: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-test-to-release-for-international-travel 

As for getting vaccinated in the UK - it should be no problem at all. Check this out: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/visiting-or-moving-to-england/visitors-from-outside-the-european-economic-area-eea/

But to be fully vaccinated she will need to obviously remain in UK until she get the 2nd dose (time between doses will depend on vaccine). And then wait 14 days after 2nd dose before being considered fully vaccinated.

Good luck

I believe that you have to go to the health department that provided the vaccines and where you are registered to receive the vaccine.

Ok thanks for the info. 

Does anyone know where to get the yellow vaccine book/passport thing that will be required for travel?

I saw details about how to get in BKK but wondered if there are any places locally to get one

Well the Pfizer vaccinations that were performed around 19th August at both Central Fest. and the BHP were definitely appointments., sent via SMS. Good luck...

And yesterday at Central Festival they were appointments sent via sms rather than walk ins.

According to the image it starts at 1pm today but no doubt the queue will already be big by now

Thanks....................so is it walk-in first come first served as reported in the news section or sms by appt only?

I could get my @rse down there and find out of course but i suspect it will be queue up first come first served regardless of SMS

If you got the text you will get the jab. For walk ins there will be a limited number available given out on a first come first served basis.

Bangkok Pattaya Hospital just posted on their Facebook page that they are accepting walk-ins tomorrow (21st Sept) for the Pfizer vaccine (no appointment needed) for foreign residents aged 18+

Should have mentioned that this is at Central Festival not the hospital itself.
