I have a bit of a problem. My 30-day consideration period ends on the day I need to leave the country on a flight that I cannot change. What's worse, is that I need to take an internal flight to catch my international flight which means time is of the essence. I know already that I'm a jackass for waiting too long and then some of the papers weren't in order. But if I may ask. . . assuming my extension is granted, how long of a process is it to get the new stamp at immigration? In thaivisa members' experience, assuming I'm first in line at 8:30am, how long should I expect the process to take? I know there may be circumstances beyond anyone's control, but I'd just like to get an idea.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Depending on what office it should take a few minutes.

You could check with your immigration office a few days before the report back date to see if it has been approved.

Thanks for the replies. I do plan to go in and check the day before on the off-chance it's ready. Does anyone know of someone who managed to pick up their extension before the report-back date?

I have gotten my extension stamp done early. There is no rule saying you cannot do it early.

That's great ubonjoe, thanks for the response. I imagine the approval arrives well before the deadline date, but maybe it's not good to make assumptions. We'll see.

5 mins go in and talk to the officers explain your situation,a few days before show them your ticket.

good luck

Will do curlcurl. Thanks
