Hi. I will go through first time extension as well. I have a bit of a problem with timing as I am going home for the holidays in December.

How many months is the normal process (stamped 'under consideration') before I get the 1-yr extension?

Many thanks.

When will be the results come out? At exactly at october 12 or before that?

Do I need to submit documents again or just go to get extension ?

The 'under consideration'-stamp is given 2-3 times, especially for new extensions.

You can travel during that period with a re-entry permit, but careful, this becomes void once you get a new 'under consideration' - stamp.

Once or twice, over the years, I was to travel and return after the under consideration; ticket in hand talked to them and got a new stamp, still under consideration with a date to fit my planned return-date. So could get re-entry permit and be back ontime.

thank you axel for this wonderful reply.

i have my ticket already and maybe i could show them the return date and have 'under consideration' stamp to fit it. and i will make sure to get a re-entry permit as well.

hi. i think someone said this is the normal process (2-3 under consideration stamps) before you get the 1-yr extension. i think your papers are pending approval from the powers-that-be. you might just want to wait for the results.

if you have the proper documents filed, i don't think you will be rejected. although i could be wrong.

good luck.

In the past i have gone in to see them at Nong Khai earlier than the consideration date and they have been happy to look it up for me.Can save time sitting around wondering.
