Extension (Retirement) CW.

So today annual trip.

Not really a report just couple of observations.

I booked and appointment for TM47 and also one for extension.

Tip 1. As I only had 3 days remaining on my permission of stay the io wanted me to obtain the extension first. (error by me) 

This year I obtained bank statements (I use money in bank method) 

Tip 2. I was using an FD account together with savings account (same bank) 

I subsequently closed the FD account after 3+ months of obtaining extension and moved funds into savings a/c. 

My mistake the teller at my local bank wanted the canceled bank book. This caused an issue with immigration today as they wanted "old" bb.

Tip 3. Obtain the 12 month bank statement day prior (I realize not possible with BBL) also bank letter.

The K bank was packed today at 8.30. All wanting bank letter etc.

However ticket to make 100b deposit to update bb and show activity was zero que. 

Tip 4. I have always followed the useful reports on AseanNow however this year and previous, I just attended one of the photocopy print shops level 1, told them "I need visa extension and also 90 report" they know exactly what is required. 

(yes I know visas are not extended)

Many photocopies listed in reports in this forum not required. 

This year (first time ever I supplied a TM30) 

Also map + bank letter (obtained day prior) showing ownership and balance.

For the 90 report go to far right of que ticket lines and show hard copy print out of your appointment 

For the extension walk straight to doc check (first desk in L area).

I asked the head io (rear area of L34) about changing to income method next extension.

She said maintain the 800k for 3 months and be able to show 12x 65k(min) monthly bank deposits transfered from abroad along with credit advice from bank.
