ubonjoe Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I have seen reports of other offices only wanting one set of documents. At Bangkok immigration it has been only one set for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsxrnz Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Twelve years at Chonburi and always only been one set. They might ask for a repeat copy if say the entry stamp is on the same page as the last extension stamp, but not always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did that start? From all the replies above, it appears to be a new rule which is great, less trees to cut down, less ink from the printer and electricity....LOL. Question, do you know if this will be for all extensions as I am about to get my docs in order for a marriage extension at the end of this month and I would love to only print off one copy. Might get the Mrs to give them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieAus Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I seem to recall an announcement by the Government recently that paper copies of ID cards and other documents for Thais wouldn’t be needed in the future. My local I migration Office now only require the passport for ninety day reporting, no forms. The last two occasions we have renewed our daughter’s Thai passport all original documents were scanned. Progress at last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statman78 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I’ve just completed my 3rd retirement extension in Chiang Rai and it has always been only 1 copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Noobie Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 The local Chiang Mai immigration has alway wanted just one copy of everything. I should say for the last eight years, they have. But then we all know that sometimes it depends on what city you live in. They don't always have the same rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lungbing Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Keep the spare copy you made as a reference for next year. I've done that for the past twenty years. The photos alone are worth looking at to see how much you change over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Immigration Offfice where the application is made (e.g. Mae Sot) has to forward a copy to another office (Chiang Mai in such case) two copies were required. Situation nearly 12 months ago. When I enquired with Immigration yesterday as to whether there had been any change in documents required since last January, the answer was "No." Several years ago, Mae Sot Immigration required THREE copies !
