I got my 1 year extension at CW on Oct 7th. Section L. I got my queue number at 8:45am and was finished by 10:30am. Everything in Section L requires a lot of documentation and each application takes a fairly long time. Last year I did the same thing and the process took 3-4 hours but part of that was my fault for not having the proper banking documentation (it was my first time). Getting there at 11:20am was, I would think, wildly optimistic. I also don't recommend getting there at 6am. You just get a queue number to get another queue number at 8:30am. And of course it varies day-to-day and is just a matter of luck. I was worried about going on a Monday last time but it turned out to be a good day.

Thanks. I'll aim to get there for 7am. Get the entry queue number and go for breakfast before coming back for L queue number at 7.50am. I will drive myself as it only takes me 25 minutes at that time and parking is easy.

    it should not matter because supposedly the extension does not require insurance, only getting the initial OA visa in one's home country is when the insurance is supposedly required

    As is always the case with any government office, in any country, whenever they "improve" a process, it takes longer. When I first came to Asia to get an India business visa it took 3 days. A few year
