My experience today at Changwattana (SETV to Non-O retirement, first step)
This might be of interest to members who are doing their first retirement visa.
I had an online appointment for 10:30 At the counter which issues the tickets, she either didn't understand or didn't care about the appointment. In hindsight, I should have shown the email booking.
At Counter C there was an IO who was handing back passports and asking follow-up questions. She was unusually polite and respectful and so I mentioned that I had a booking (showed the email) and at the appointed time I was called.
I'm unsure if my appointment would have been called if I hadn't let the Counter C staff know.
I had signed all my copies but the IO stamped each page and got me to resign.
Today was a good day at Changwattana. Three from three IO were polite and respectful.
I'm back in 14 days for the next stage.
