ricklev Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 A USA friend of mine entered Thailand a few months ago on a 30 day visa exemption and has since gotten a couple of covid extensions with the current extenstion expiring on 16 May. He went to the new covid extension office at Icon Square in Bangkok today to apply early for another extension. He wasn't turned down but was give an "application of stay is under consideration" stamp in his passport and told to return on 17 May. He did ask what that meant, but the officer couldn't really tell him. He asked if he would be on overstay when he returned on the 17th and was told he would be but it would be OK. Any idea what this means? Is it just a formality and he will be given two more months on 17 May or is there a possibility of denial and being told to leave the country toot sweet? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted April 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2022 The under consideration stamp allows him to stay in the country until his extension is approved. The report back date does not end the under consideration period. If it was not approved he would be granted 7 days to leave the country but I am not aware of any covid 19 extension being disproved after the application was accepted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most immigration offices will do the 30 day extension up to 2 weeks before your permit to stay (a visa is not extended) ends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchidfan Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 As @Ubonjoe points out, the "report back date " after "under consideration " period is not a deadline. My report back date for marriage extension was last Monday 18th, but as of just now, they (Pathum Thani Immigration ) haven't received the (what they call)"visa approval" hasn't arrived yet. Please call back tomorrow ! I guess the week (+?) off for Songkran has set HQ back a bit. Lucky I didn't have anything planned after getting the extension stamp ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
