KhunBENQ Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Sure I am not the first to fall in this trap and I should know about Thai holidays, mea culpa. But that immigration stamps you to come back on a holiday? Just realized when reading about the oncoming holiday closures (July 28 and 29, August 12). Should I try my luck on Thursday, August 11? Monday 15 is the last admitted until day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted July 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2022 Not unusual for them to do the report back date on holidays and weekends. You could try on the 11th or wait until Monday the 15th. The under consideration stamp allows you to stay in the country until your application is approved. The report back date is just that and is not the end of the under consideration period. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell17au Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 The dates for yearly extensions, 90 day reports and under consideration date stamps are all generated by the computer and it does not take the weekends or the holidays listed into account so it shows the operator what date to stamp in the passport.

And using common sense and not telling you to report back on a date they are closed is out of the question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andycoops Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I frequently get 90 day reports etc stamped for a Saturday or Sunday. I simply go before the required date. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that for 90 day report there are clear rules for doing early or after the due date. 20 hours ago, ubonjoe said: You could try on the 11th or wait until Monday the 15th. I will try the 11th. 15th is the last day of the visa exempt stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will not be a problem after the 15th since the under consideration stamp allows you to stay until the visa application is approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your visa exempt end date is irrelevant now that you have the "under consideration stamp". You can go on 15th, 16th .... you could even go on 19th, just say sorry that you are late and it won't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The under consideration stamp is only needed for visa and extension applications that have to be approved at the division level of immigration. For example extensions based upon marriage to a Thai and in some cases extensions based upon working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
