Popular Post Swiss1960 Posted August 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2021 Never sign the original documents like bank letters, amphoe documents and so on. If you have to do copies of them, then you need to sign the copy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gsxrnz Posted August 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2021 I sign and date every copied document in blue pen. Have only once been asked to sign original bank letter. They're a law unto themselves at IMMO. Guarantee if I staple the TM7 pages together, they'll remove the staple - if I don't staple them, they'll staple them. If I attach two copies of the same passport page because the entry stamp and extension expiry stamp are on the same page, they'll give one back - If I give them only one copy, they'll demand another. As a rule I take spare copies of everything imaginable. Once I highlighted my name n a document because it was buried in the text. IMMO officer was <deleted> off because I used green and they use yellow. She was happy when I presented her with a pristine copy for her to smite with her yellow highlighter. 4 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilly07 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Had this debate with my wife who refused to sign anything until asked by the IO (Jomtien) so I didn't either. IO was not fussed and after she sorted papers passed to junior for both to sign which only took a couple of mins as she indicated which she wanted signed. Believe we only signed the copies for HQ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) I think pre signed copies sort of impresses them that you've got your <deleted> together but it won't compensate for any serious flaws in your application.

Maybe not rejected but doing them in again with blue ink at some pedant offices. If not sure do them with blue ink. Some don't even accept a TM7 form that has been completed using a computer to type it in. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite a good point UJ, sign documents NOT at the bottom cos they do have one BIG stamp that goes over some signatures.... A bit off topic.... At Phuket yesterday, the nice happy IO removed my TN6 and stapled it into another page. The TM6 had been stapled in a week earlier when I transferred stamps to my new passport. My each IO has a personal preference .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immigration has moved mine when it was on a blank page needed for my next extension (forgot to move it myself) to a page with an extension stamp on it already.

ThaiFelix Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I purposely leave some documents unsigned or left out completely (but in my bag). It gives the IO a sense of superiority and keeps him/her from having to come up with some harder to provide requirement like 6 copies of my dog's birth certificate or photos of all my in-laws printed on green paper etc. In this way the officer has shown he knows more than a farang, he feels complete, and the application will then proceed smoothly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puck2 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 My experience, not only in Thailand: the more stupid and incompetent the bureaucratic officers are, the more pedantic and wicked are they with unessential issues/problems. i.e.: blue or black coloured signatures. etc. Never have had a problem with the colour of a signature in Mae Hong Son, now Pai.
