But results are very much a matter of luck.

Trust this is good observation.

All pass requests might have different results, timewise.

My remark to you was not personal, but a general one.

I do not have any experience with the pass.

Residing in Thailand few years already and no plans to leave.

Always did all steps correctly, everything in jpeg etc

Most people will say they did everything correctly and think it is not their input that delayed the issue of the pass.

The amount of fotocopies asked by immigration from every single person is UNBELIEVABLE!!!

You are not in Belgium anymore.

You should know they do things differently here.

Many people were disgruntled with this change at immigration.

Just deal with it.

Make the extra copy, fill in the extra form.

You will be out of the office within the hour, with your extension.

Happy days.

They even had problems with understand Thai language.

Do not believe this at all.

You say that a Thai citizen does not speak his/her own language. 555

Maybe your Thai is not as good as you think.

And you should be aware they speak a dialect here in the Northeast.

Most of the employees at Immigration had the knowledge of a 5 year old kid at the best.

With this attitude, which they will recognize, they can make your extension more difficult than necessary.

in the HOT sun

Something you might expect here in march

When you make copies just make sure to cross it with 2 lines, over the complete copy, and write down the reason it is used for inside the copy. Also add the date the copy is used.

A lot are doing it this way to avoid the copy to be used for different reasons than stated.

I also take out 1000k on the same day

1000k is one million. A bit much I would say.

You could withdraw or deposit 100 thb if you want, more than enough.

Don't know about the exit stamp. Not mentioned anywhere.

Trust you read the lastest news.

March 10, 2022:

"Bookings no longer needed for jabs at Bang Sue.

The Central Vaccination Centre (CVC) at Bang Sue Grand Station is offering vaccine shots regardless of which dose it is for both Thais and foreign nationals on a walk-in basis.
The CVC is ramping up vaccinations in the build-up to the Songkran festival in the middle of next month.
For easier access to the vaccine, inoculations at Bang Sue Grand Station, the country's biggest vaccination centre, will be available for walk-ins.
The service is open to both Thais and foreign nationals and people can choose what vaccine they want, regardless of what dose they require.
Shots will be offered from 9am-4pm daily until the Songkran festival from April 13-15.
The station will be closed on Chakri Memorial Day on April 6 and during the Songkran festival. It will reopen on April 18."

If you want to keep the retirement extension, you must plan your stay in Thailand to be a few weeks before the 'permitted until date' each year.

Still nothing for people who got 2x Pfizer six months ago... Should one wait, or sign up for Moderna? If so, what are the best offers in Bangkok?

If you received: Pfizer-BioNTech.

When to get a booster: At least 5 months after completing your primary COVID-19 vaccination series.

Booster: Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna (mRNA COVID-19 vaccines) are preferred in most situations.

I know some people who ordered and paid for Moderna and are still waiting for their shot.

Suggest try to make an appointment via mobile provider or walk-in at the Bang Sue CVC and find out.

I can just walk in to obtain a booster?

Is there a choice. I don't care what vaccine is available. 

Yes you could just walk in. Or get an appointment via mobile providers (True, AIS).

You could get halve dose Pfizer or full dose Pfizer booster. Just see signs at the entrance.

Think halve dose at door 2 and full dose at door 3.

At the time also Moderna was available, but think they do mostly Pfizer now. Just confirm when you walk in.

Just a caution, I was there few weeks back and things might have changed slightly since then.

However it is unclear whether Bangsue will give boosters to those who obtained their first doses elsewhere. 

I was at Bangsue few weeks ago with somebody who received 1st and 2nd dose somewhere else.

Walk-in was possible. Not busy at all. Waiting time about 5 seconds at door 3.

And what visa exactly did you obtain inside Thailand. 

Maybe Elite PE visa?

You can get the visa affixed when you land at Suvarnabhumi or at CW.

A lot more stats on this site available. (Thai only)
