Technical overstay or not?

[louse1953]

G 'day,i am getting my OA retirement extension,which is now under consideration,on 15th March.My previous extension finishes on 13th March.Am i 2 days overstay.I would presume not,as Immigration are the ones that stamped me until 15th March.

Whatever you are stamped is your current permitted to stay date so no overstay

As stated above.

Which immigration office are you using ?

It is usual for extensions of stay based on retirement to be issued on the same day they are applied for

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

I think that is probably Kap Choeng immigration since they have been reported as doing that.

Kap Choeng is the culprit.This has been going on for a while now.House visit as well and 2 referees and the Poo Yai.I ask"why are you doing this."His reply was"to make sure all us farangs are happy."And what if we are not,no reply.Isn't it nice that they have our welfare at heart.He is coming next year to make sure i am still happy.He rekons this is going to roll out to the other offices.Stay tuned.

Just a quick question.

This 'under consideration', does it also cost 1,900 baht?

So do you pay once or twice?

You only pay the 1900 baht for the extension. The under consideration period is part of the extension process.
