    Interesting.  While I've provided the standard bank stuff for an extension based on retirement (currently being the one year statement and standard bank letter), I've never given them my actual bankbook. I do always have it (along with lots of other stuff) with me just in case.

    Yes they definitely require the bank book , updated on the day you are going to Immigration, but they don't seem to need

    the 12 month worth of statements , as last 2 years they have just given them back to me . but I would still get the statement,

    because if you did not have it they would be sure to want it .......

    I will go to CM Immigration soon and I have an appointment for a retirement extension.  Did you have to go to the "tent" first or "directed to window 2" in the main building's central information counter which distributes the appropriate queue number?

     

    There were previous reports of expats with appointments were redirected from the inside counter back to the "tent" for paperwork checks.

    At the first small hut as you enter ,tell the person you have an appointment , he then told me to go

    to window 2 ,which is in tent area ,but they have built a row of small offices with numbers ,they

    check you paperwork there , then from there a young immigration lad ,whisked  my papers inside,

    saying listen for your name been called , if you want to hear your name ,find a seat beside window 10,

    as with the noise in there ,and the bad tannoy system not easy to hear , 

     

    The first call will be for your photo to be taken , later on a lady will come out with box of passports

    calling out names , make sure you get your bank book back too ,  at window 2 they also take the

    B 1900 in advance . good luck

    Why do you think someone would pay 3.4 million for this visa?
    The extras when I looked into it in the past are very limited and don't add much value.

    Unless you were an avid golfer and were happy to play at the same (included) course day in day out then maybe it adds some value.

    Maybe a Bitcoin dabbler ,under 50 and wants to live in Thailand .....

  5. I went along to Chiang Mai Immigration on Wednesday ,had an appointment ,was directed

    to window 2 ,to have paperwork pre checked , they went through everything  ,did not want 

    the 12 months of statements from Bangkok Bank ,wish i had of known ,took 3 trips to the

    bank to get them ,you can bet if i didn't have them ,they would have wanted them .

     

    Took 45 mins altogether , I have a friend going to Central next week doing it by Agent,

    4 K baht ,but had to get paperwork from bank himself, see how long it takes him for

    the extra money , does not like to wait around ......45 mins once a year you cannot

    complain ... this time they did not do my 90 day report , so did it online when I got

    home , it was approved next day   Thank you Chiang Mai immigration ,you are great....

    How, exactly didn't Brexit help British  government policy on pensions?

    And how, exactly has Covid influenced British government rulings on pension increases for non EU overseas pension payments?

    Brexit did not help the British Government  policy on Pensions , but the value of pensions dropped , just like Covid

    with price rises affected the overseas pensioners   ,both badly affected expat pensioners, the British

    Government has done nothing and most likely will do nothing to help expat pensioners in the future .

    I just want to take this opportunity to say how much I love Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.

     

    I definitely plan to visit once this foul and unjust invasion comes to an end.

     

    I LOVE YOU UKRAINE.

     

    bob.

    How many Ukrainian people do actually know ? , and have you actually been to Ukraine ?

    The OCSB is hopeful of an increase in sugar cane production for the 2024–25 crop year. This is due to the likelihood of farmers shifting from cassava cultivation to sugar cane farming, driven by the higher price of the latter

    Many farmers switch to sugar cane because the prices are going to be high this year , next year there's going to be a glut * (unless there's another drought )

    because more farmers switched to sugar cane..... supply and demand
