Report retirement extension CW - bank method

[cormanr7]

Did my yearly extension. Could have copied last year's text as experience was virtually identical . 

Had an on-line appointment, after document check at counter L1-27 (where they let you sign most of the paperwork) my number was called exactly on-time at L1-35.

Only took 10 minutes here. Was then told to wait and less than 15 min later got my passport + bankbook back. Good for another year.

 

Handed in:

 

-Application form (TM.7) with pic. + 3 additional forms that you will get at the main reception

-Passport + copy relevant pages

-Bankbook + copy relevant pages 

-Bank letter

-3 month account statement (IO said next time bring a one year statement)

-Copy last 90 day-report

-Hand-drawn map of apartment location

-1,900 Baht

Thanks for report.

Bit fortunate they allowed 3 month statement as sufficient, however they obviously checked bank book.

Did you update bank book and make small deposit? 

Did you obtain the bank letter on appointment day or prior? 

No TM30 provided? 

No Lease?

Did mine at the exact same desk on Tuesday. 1pm appointment meant no doc check, straight to the IO.  I had more documents than you, TM30, lease, 90 day receipt, etc. They didn't give anything back but if they were really needed I've no clue.  After I was dismissed by the IIO I waited over an hour. But the girl in the back was overloaded with people returning from earlier mooring sessions, at least I think that was the issue.

With appointment slot 1pm there is often a wait. Not so with eg morning time slots. They are seen bang on time.

 

For the 1pm appointment the io does a bit of a clean up from the morning and then the gears start rolling. Can involve shortish wait

IO said no problem about missing year statement, just bring it next year (she checked the balance going back one year from the bank book).

I got the bank letter the day prior. I updated at Big C Chaeng Wattana this morning (pink line station right in front) , banks were closed but you can get into the building from 08.30 (possibly earlier) when the Big C opens. SCB has a bank book update machine outside the bank office. I made a 100 Baht withdrawal before updating. 

I have never provided a TM.30 or a lease in five extensions and people should not volunteer these, it might lead to an ever growing list of requirements. If they need something they will ask for it.
