If you usually acquire a retirement visa extension through the brown envelope procedure , no documents required and no questions asked . 

   Just be aware that some friendly I.O's in certain locations have been moved to other positions and thus are unable to procced with the extensions and the situation may or may not get resolved in the future . 

How did you come by this info and what offices, KK and Nan?

Honestly, if there's being  a clampdown, its best not to name the offices on public forums !!!!!!!!

I contacted my usual agent yesterday to enquire how long would be needed to make a new extension and the cost and I was given that info .

Thailand is the HUB of crackdowns, no logical reasons required!

Cracking down on illegal activities seems pretty logical to me.

Merely a risk which those who opt for the "brown envelope" method run at their peril, I think.

Yes, agreed, it is a chance that you take. But no sweat! It will mean that the contact mobile telephone number for the Immigration Officer you used to deal with is no longer useful to you. It may simply be a case of going personally to your immigration office, talking to different staff and obtaining their mobile telephone numbers?
