ninjabkk Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) I went to Pattaya immigration on 14th October. the stamp said, "Application of stay is under consideration, contact this office again on 11th Nov. " 1. Do I have to go to the same office again on 11th November? 2. I have a plan to go back to Bangkok so if I have to go again ,if possible I prefer go to the bangkok office, is it ok? 3. And I found this board at the office, "All visa start counting from 1th Nov" ??? so I don't need to go to the office...? too much confusing. what should I do?

fishtank Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Yes you have to go back to Pattaya Immigration on 11th November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritsSikkink Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 This office on 11 November. What don't you understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 When do you wish to go to Bangkok. If few days prior to 11/Nov you could attend immigration and see if it's ready. You need to close off on the under consideration stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcoast Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Under consideration stamps mean that your application is not yet approved and you must return to the same office on the date mentioned to finalize a permission to stay stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klauskunkel Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 You do exactly what the stamp in your passport says. You do not do what a board in an office says. It's really simple if you can manage not to confuse yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomchaiCNX Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 If no decision yet they will give you another "under consideration stamp". Happened to me a couple times the first couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiFelix Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 From my understanding, some visas, such as Non Im O Thai wife, cannot be approved by all offices, but need to go to Imm 'centres' for approval. For example my office has to send my app to Khon Kaen for approval and the 'under consideration' period is to allow for that. I would suggest you ring the office and explain your travel plans for a solution.....get it from the horses mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has mentioned why people are now getting these "under consideration" stamps, I've never seen this mentioned in a thread before, no wonder the op is confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fondue zoo Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 CW is doing the same, they are also ignoring the 1st of November starting point, or did at least in my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Maybe another way to explaining what "under consideration" means is it can not be approved at time of application for various possible reasons such as must be be reviewed by additional authorities over the coming days/weeks, must be sent to headquarters for approval which will take time, etc. But with the "under-consideration" stamp it authorizes you to stay in country up to the associated under-consideration return to office date when the immigration office would either give a final decision stamp or extend the under-consideration date if a final decision had not been made yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not correct. The under consideration stamp allows you to stay until the extension is approved or disapproved. The report back date is just that and it does not end the under consideration period after that day. Immigration has not been doing a new stamp for years now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immigration has not been doing a new stamp for years now. And that is what I said...just in a different way than you said it. But I understand you are pointing out if a person returns on the instructed return date if no decision has been reached the IO will just say check back in X-amount of days or as I have seen in a few posts may write in a new return date.

ninjabkk Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Thank you for everybody. How many days can I stay in Thailand if I go to the Immigration Department on November 11th and get approval? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After getting that stamp you could apply for a 60 day extension in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjabkk Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 If I apply for a 60-day visa in Pattaya that day Nov 11th, will I be stamped again under consideration? In that case, I have to go back to Pattaya again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact after you report on the 11th, it would be good to share what you get so others can know what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean it's possible to go back before the stamped date and it's possible a) it might be ready and b) even if it is, that they will give it to you?

You can go early to check to see it has been approved before the report back date and if approved they would do the extension stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
