CW very busy - was hard to make an appointment.

So I did my usual and tried to book an appointment for my annual extension visa based on marriage to a Thai girl. To my surprise there were no slots available for the entire month to 16th March. Every one booked.

 

The booking period is a month or 28 days or whatever, and the day I logged in was day one. That was a bit disconcerting but my beloved is one smart cookie - she told me to sit up late until after midnight when the month moves up one day which would be vacant as the availability would only be a minute or so old.

 

So I did and sure enough the slot moved up one day a minute or so after midnight, and the last day had no bookings whatsoever and I was able to snag the time I wanted. 

 

So finally yesterday I was able to go in with my wife, we had to fill in 4 extra forms and sign them - no idea what they were for, my wife did the filling in of hers and mine, I just said "yes dear" and signed where she told me. The expiry date is 5th April but as that is a Saturday they instructed to go on the 8th April for the stamp, a Tuesday. Got so say Mondays are crazy traffic driving in, we don't live that far away but still took 2 hours almost. Appointment 11.00am, we were out by 12.00.
