Mate, went there today for a Thai wife extension, and not like last year where we had to hand write 2 x TM7. They do not trust you to get it correct. They send you to another counter where someone will write it out, by their hand, from what they have on the computer. For a fee, of course.
But you cannot sign anything until you are directed by the IMO. So it changes every year and the new office seemed to be under staffed.
