Under consideration stamp, 30 days from when?

[Thailand2022]

Hello,

 

I have a non-imm O based on marriage and just went for my yearly extension. Other years I have gotten the under consideration stamp with a “come back date” 1 month from when my extension expires.

 

However, this time the “come back date” is 1 month from today instead. 
 

The officer explained it’s new policy, same in all of Thailand now (If I understood him correctly). Is it same everywhere now?

 

It messed with my plans since I will travel during the “come back date” early next month. Asked the officer and he said it’s ok to come a couple days later. But he could not guarantee I can check in hotel if it’s after the “come back date”. Soo.. I have to cancel my plans or anyone know if it will be a problem to check in hotel?

 

Sorry for the long post, thanks in advance ????

I don't follow. 

Checking into any hotel is irrelevant.

I mean if the stamp say I have to come back 4 july and I will check in hotel 8 july. Don’t they check stamps and report to immigration? I can just check in hotel even though my extension has expired?

Don't overthink it. Just come back whenever they told you to come back.

The under consideration stamp allows you to stay in the country until your extension is approved.

I suspect a hotel will not even pay attention to the date on the stamp.
