+.. _timestamp_with_offset_extension:
+
+Timestamp With Offset
+=============
+This type represents a timestamp column that stores potentially different timezone offsets per value. The timestamp is stored in UTC alongside the original timezone offset in minutes.
+This extension type is intended to be compatible with ANSI SQL's ``TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE``, which is supported by multiple database engines.
+
+* Extension name: ``arrow.timestamp_with_offset``.
+
+* The storage type of the extension is a ``Struct`` with 2 fields, in order:
+
+  * ``timestamp``: a non-nullable ``Timestamp(time_unit, "UTC")``, where ``time_unit`` is any Arrow ``TimeUnit`` (s, ms, us or ns).
+
+  * ``offset_minutes``: a non-nullable signed 16-bit integer (``Int16``) representing the offset in minutes from the UTC timezone. Negative offsets represent time zones west of UTC, while positive offsets represent east. Offsets range from -779 (-12:59) to +780 (+13:00).
+
+* Extension type parameters:
+
+  This type does not have any parameters.
+
+* Description of the serialization:
+
+  Extension metadata is an empty string.
+
+.. note::
+
+   It is also *permissible* for the ``offset_minutes`` field to be dictionary-encoded or run-end-encoded.
