chang50 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 There is a report on Pattaya expats newsletter that people wanting retirement extensions do not need to wait in the queue at the entrance but can go to the exit door where they will be given a number and allowed to wait inside.I am planning to go tomorrow to do this can anyone confirm this is in fact the case?

Longwood50 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I know this is true for 90 day reports but this is the first I have heard of it for Retirement Extensions. I would be most interested since mine is due this month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might be referring to the next day pick up of your approved extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven100 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I believe that is only for collection the following day, not for submitting the application. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not how the article reads and also you are not given a queue number to pick up your pp..all that is required is the number given to you the previous day and you have always just walked straight in for pick up usually 2pm.

phennecke Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 They need only your passport, not even you yourself. The last three times my wife did it for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneZero Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 If 90 day report folks are waiting outside, and renewal can go in the exit door, then what are the long ques for? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, for an extension? Since when have you not had to submit bank letter and book? Or are you taking about the 90 day report?

Just a guess but those folks, tourists, that entered on 45 day visa exempt and now want an extension of stay? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chang50 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Don't know if i just got lucky but I went to the exit door and was given a ticket and submitted my paperwork ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gargamon Posted February 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2023 Here's my take on this, having just done an extension a few weeks ago in Jomtien. Go first thing in the morning, as soon as the doors open. They will call for people doing retirement extensions to come out of the queue so the 3 or 4 people waiting to serve them inside can get to work. Later in the day, the 3 or 4 are busy and you will need to stand in line. Makes sense if you think about it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never learn, although we've been together for 16 years, so not doing too bad this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthainess Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Trat today; went to get my marriage extension stamp after the consideration period, did a drive by at 10am jeez queues outside, nah I'll come back after lunch, still queues, dropped the wife off, with with my PP, she had to wait 1hr, place was full with Tourists and Foreign labourers, very unusual for Trat IO to be full. Oh well 1yr before I have to go back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
