O Extension: Appt, Days prior

[Jelli]

Is it now possible to make an appointment for O visa renewal / extension at Chaeng Wattana?  *Since I'm asking - has anything changed?

 

How many days prior can I do the extension? I recall something like 45 (40?) ?

 

------------

 

90 day is 15 before and 7 after? Or is it two weeks (14)? Sorry, I can never keep this straight.

 

Does CW do residence certificates now? What would I need for that?

 

Thank you

Yes it is possible to make appointment at CW.

Works a treat. Remember to take hard copy of confirmation email.

Possible to do application up to 45 early at CW.

 

90 Day report works 15 days early and 7 days post for in person.

 

Certificate of residence is done at CW. Most important thing is TM47.

I also provide my lease and basic copies of pp pages.

 

Here is appointment link.

Note: It's also possible to make appointment for 90 day report.

There are no appointments for certificate of residence.

However here is nifty trick.

You can obtain COR at the same time as doing the 90 report.

The io will first do the TM47 photocopy it and then process the COR.

Make sure you are early for appointments. They run like clockwork.

Forgot to add re any new requirements.

I have done last ten extensions using money in bank method at CW.

My most recent extension (Nov last yr) they required my TM47 Receipt.

They also were asking for bank statements as my bank book showed some months with zero entries.

Has never been an issue previously.

 

Also current thread running .re extension retirement CW and referring to need TM30.

Seems bit hit and miss so probably good idea to provide one.

While it is true that CW allows for an extension based on retirement up to 45 days in advance, the appointment system has but a -30 day "window".

 

There are only five slots per day for an extension based on retirement, so settle on a  day/date/time and book -30 days.

 

And five slots for marriage, also at the "L" desks.

 

There was a great trip report re: COR at CW here, I used that with success.

There are probably a lot more here, so a search might yield additional info.
