I am well aware of the differences between indirect and direct communication. I have grown to prefer the former, which has many disadvantages.
I wonder which nationality is the happier?

First Extension (Retirement) Using Combination Method - possible?
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Posted
Using this combined method seems to be really confusing.
As stated in this topic, it should be ok as far as one is able to receive the affidavit of income from embassy.
I am able to get that - so far so good...
Then I have read that not all immigration offices accept it even with the affidavit...
It seems to be impossible to get any immigration office to reply to e-mails.
One I got in touch with via messenger, told that combined method would be handeled "case by case".
That is as good of information as no information at all.
It is pretty impossible to leave apartment, belongings and everything behind in home country, just to find out that some immigration officer won't grant extension, because having a bad day.
Sure, if that would happen there is always the possibility to use "agent", but I just don't see the point when requirements stated are fulfilled.
Depending on exchange rate, my yearly pension is about 750.000 Thb and as I told, I still can get the affidavit of income from my embassy.
So I'd need about 50.000 Thb deposit to fullfill the 800.000 Thb combined.
Naturally I'd go well over 50K deposit, just to compensate the currency fluxuation, but that should not make any difference weather to accept the extension or not.
I really don't know what to do about this.
Take a leap of faith, leave everything and cross my fingers that what ever city (and immigration office) should I choose will follow the law?
