Just to follow up they came to take my photo 1 working day after i did the extension application. Just in front of the condo block though not in my actual condo.
IF it happens. Like many things in Thailand it will be fudged where money is involved. Even the article says there might be "cannabis sales zones" where the nut jobs can stll get stoned.
Yes retirement. But why? They can see i am over 50, They checked my financial status and my TM30. It hasn't changed in 16 years. They already have my photo on the extension application. They took another one at desk 8 in immigration.
No they gave me a slip of paper with the number on for a Captain Poo and said he would ring me in a few days. He had a box full of these slips so i assume it's now a common thing.
OK i didn't get the new stamp then i have to go back the next working day. But i assume it's a formality once the documents have been checked and agreed.
