How early for retirement ext number pls?

[cheeryble]

Sorry the same old subject...but it changes

A bit late for this (due by 28th Sept.) so need to do it right.

My wife has offered to do the early queue for me.

I figure I need to get bank letter tomorrow Wednesday 25th, then missus queues next day Thursday 26th.

1. What time does she need to queue, and bearing in mind I’d need an hour or two to arrive can she request a 'not before' time

2. Hope to go Thursday or Friday, but are extensions issued Saturday?

3. I have Parkinson’s.....v uncomfortable standing long....do they have any arrangements for those like me?

 

Thanxalot

Which office?

If Chiang Mai there is no long line to get queue number anymore. You can get there about 7am and get a number.

You can apply up to 30 days prior (45 days some offices).

Never a good idea to leave it until the last minute.

Still pretty early. Let’s look further.
Thanks

They open the office that early now.

You can go later and still get a number now.

Yeah been busy and overlooked it.

I thought I’d heard one can go like 8 or so now.
Was hoping so as 7 isn’t in my universe really.
Prefer not to make wife get up she needs the rest.
Is there a. Recommended queueing service to get number anyone?

Not needed anymore.

You’re bang on Ubonjoe.

I spoke to an old Thai friend who I’d heard had been doing an immigration service.

She said like you I can safely go at 8.

She said we don’t need her help, and listed what was needed.

One thing in particular she noted was that not only do I need the bank letter......which I now have......but that I also need to update the bank books (i have the money in two accounts same bank) on application day, which will be tomorrow, Thursday 26th.) as the bank won’t be open early this needs to be done at an update machine. All with signed copies of course except the original bank letter. Go figure.

 

I do still have a kind of urgent question.

 

At 8am or whenever I or the missus get a number what do we need to show at that stage? Is it just the passport because it would be much more convenient to update the bank books and get all my copies opposite immigration after having the number.

And what happens at 9.......is that when appointment times are given out?

Can I get my updates and copies between 9 and my appointment?

Basically I’m concerned whether a passport alone is enough to get a number and I might be left high and dry.

 

Ps by the by is it possible to get a bank book updated in the update machine of another bank if I just pay a fee or has to be my own bank?

 

Do hope I can get an answer tonight or early morn8ng

 

Thanks v much!

 

Pps I have Parkinson’s and a hospital letter, and it is v uncomfortable to stand up, certainly not in a line. Worse than walking. Is there some sort of accommodation made for those like me? Seats? If not I’ll be sitting on the deck :).....seriously!

Well I got sent away to have everything ready first viewing at 8.

I have rushed to the bank to update.

But it updated with YESTERDAY date.

Now waiting for bank to open maybe the date will change and can ask for copies.

 

Yes date changed in bank.

Wonder if [emoji769] will tell me I’m too late when I get back.

Can this rule really exist?

The OP mention his 'missus', not sure if that means he legally married.

If so, he should apply based on marriage next time, then he doesn't have to keep 400K in the bank all year.

But the headline says 'retirement extension'.

Yes, I know.

I would have thought it must be the bank who issued the book.
