More days that the kids are not educated. With another 6 or 7 weeks till the end of the year , The school across from us for one reason or another has had 50 days off so far this year , not including Sat. or Sun.

That is standard 3 is new for Ratchaburi... It's common for some immigration offices to require a TM30 Never had to sign my wife's ID card copy before or her House book copies. Always had a TM 30 , for some reason they wanted a new one. It looks like all the offices will be as one in their requirements soon. Anyway sorted for another year , already opened a new account with SCB on the 7th. so next years extension will go more smoothly (I hope )

Update , got my bank statement from Bkk bank this morning , got a new bank letter and off to the Immi. office. 2 officers and 2 yellow shirted aids with nothing to do but check my documents , one officer asked why I had a bank statement when I already had the bank book pages copied signed and stamped ? He could not understand that my account had never ever gone below 800,000 baht in 12 years , yet they wouldn't accept it. He was told by another officer that that was the requirement now . He shrugged his shoulders and walked off. So now they wanted an account transaction for today. So back into Ratchaburi , made a deposit got the book updated and back to the Immi. office. I was given 3 more docs to sign, 1st) STM 2 which I had already submitted , but the doc. has been changed to include a second signature done in the presence of an Immi. officer. 2nd) Acknowledge of Penalties for Visa overstay , which I had already submitted , but the doc. has also been changed to include a second signature done in the presence of an Immi. officer. 3rd) Acknowledgment of conditions for a retired person to stay Temporary in the Kingdom of Thailand. Plus I had to sign my wife's documents she submitted for a new TM 30 , I haven't moved or been out of the country , but they still insisted on her doing a new one. Then for some reason or another , every piece of paper I submitted was photographed. I will be interested to hear from anybody else who uses Ratchaburi Immigration in the near future , see if it slackens off any.

So Ruud is surplus to requirements , I hope he got a good pay out and lands a decent job elsewhere. I thought he would have been ideal to help young forwards at United.

any chance of them moving to our village. Will pay them a retainer.....😀

What is the purpose of that , if they have already allowed your extension , what purpose does the overstay stamp serve. Or is it just " something that they do for no reason "?

The only problem I had were the power glitches , had to go through everything 3 times before completion as they kept losing everything on the computers . Took 90 mins .

Scotty and OImd8ta , Not on a fixed deposit account.

What sort of time limit are you allowed between the last day of your statement and the day you do your extension. Is 7 days acceptable ?

I did apply a little bit earlier , so I will only be 2 or 3 days past my expiry date , which they said if I was willing to pay a 500 baht a day fine , they will accept it....Rather decent of him wasn't it , barsteward.
