We're all sooo bored of boosters. And do we now have to pay for vax? If it's free, there may be takers. If it costs, those numbers will go up. Covid isn't finished with us yet.

Good luck to this couple. Old age may not be what we're expecting.

If you're in the capital, AQI reports red zone with 62ppm 2.5. Not 'fresher'!

And a lot of appts are very early or very late in day. Wouldn't want to be stuck in CW traffic at either time!

They expire?!? If there's an expiry date, how much scrutiny do driving licence offices give these? IOW, is there some latitude?

Thanks, Jack for your usual thoroughness. Funny they should focus on 90-day reports, considering those are computerised. Guess they're after the money. Is a Certificate of Residence useful to have? (I bet Canada charges B3,000 & two visits with the new appt queue system.) I'll need to renew my driver's licence in over a year. Will they want one? TIA!

But not necessary for retirement visa extension, correct? Can use yellow book?

Is a Certificate of Residence able to be substituted with a foreigner tabien ban (yellow book)?

Just called 1178. Yeah, I know their info is <sometimes> not accurate. However, the IO told me that only photo, entry & current extension page copies are required NOT all passport pages. Fingers crossed!

Sorry! - Chaeng Wattana.

I should know this but... For annual retirement extension are these acceptable? 1) Wife's ID card & tabien ban, plus my yellow tabien ban to prove residence? (I've never done a TM.30, same house for 30 years.) 2) Copy of EVERY passport page necessary or just photo, entry & current extension? Sorry. I get nervous about the goalposts every year! I could not find a complete list of required documents for retirement here on TV. Thank you!

Army. Water-bombers. Fun. Just like videogames!

And Father Joe Maier? At 83, he still has annual treks to Chaeng Wattana. No one could be more selfless.

Stapled on to annual forms by IO.

Thanks, lopburi. No, I have a long line of retirement extensions. Just was not aware of this new form. As usual, seems to no purpose, eh! CJ

https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/ImmigrationOfficeGovernmentComplexChaengWattanaRd@imm1division.onmicrosoft.com/bookings/ This may already have been reported. Use this for retirement appts & some others at CW. Mac Safari didn't connect but Chrome seems to work.

Thanks for all your replies. So this means this "Statement" is a necessary component of the retirement paperwork required by Chaeng Wattana? TIA!

@Ubonjoe , do you know anything about this? The worst part is "Have come to immigration". The whole point of switching from marriage to retirement is so that my wife doesn't have to take a whole day away from her work. TIA!

You've only got one pair. Rutnin or Bumrungrad. There are so many different conditions. The expensive hospitals have the best modern testing equipment for diagnosis.

Filling out this year’s form, I discover stapled a “Statement” form No. 3. It appears to require a guarantor for one’s application. Is this form necessary at Chaeng Wattana with money in the bank and all the other documents? If so, can it be self-certified, by me? Or do I need wife to fill it out? Or, best of all, can I just forget it? Thanks.

Plenty of maskless tourists in BKK... Do they really not know?!? Shame!

Well, yes & no. For almost all cases of deafness, hearing loss is permanent & irreversible. (They are probably hiding all those demented deaf people.) The 'treatment' WHO is referring to is hearing aids. I suffered sudden deafness the night of June 13; I woke up deaf in one ear on June 14. Tried everything, including hyperbarics. So I tested out a couple of hearing aids. The problem for me is that they amplify your own voice. Yes, you can hear other people better but you sound like you're shouting at yourself. I'd be most interested in 'hearing' the opinions of others in a similar situation. You don't know what you've got till it's gone...

Even looking at these small numbers, Covid is putting more people on respirators than any other condition. It ain't over...

Inexpensive? BTS, not so much. The colour naming convention is pretty hard to figure out.

Crikey! Would like to hear more about this terrible tale. What vax? One ear, or both? Percent of hearing loss?
