Update: links for retirement extension forms at CW: TM.7, STM.2, STM.9, STM.11, criteria ...

[retiree]

Retirement extension at CW now requires these forms.  The STM.2, STM.9 and STM.11 are normally given to you when you check in.  There is a fillable .docx version of the TM.7 out there somewhere (it must be saved to PDF to print properly).  The rest I just fill in with Acrobat, then sign in ink. 

 

• Site with forms:  https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/th/downloads/ 
• TM.7  Application for Extension of Temporary Stay  https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/14คำขออนุญาตเพื่ออยู่ในราชอาณาจักรเป็นการชั่วคราวต่อไป-ตม.7.pdf
• STM.2 Acknowledgement of Terms and Conditions  https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/STM-2-FORM-2025.pdf
• STM.9 Acknowledgement of Overstay Penalties https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/STM-9-FORM-2025.pdf 
• STM.11 Consent Form https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/STM-11-FORM-2025.pdf
• (possibly) Criteria for Consideration of ...  https://test.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/1591003315146.pdf  (pages 2-3, signature only)

 

The online "Criteria" form does not have an extra stamp for "received a copy ..." signatures on page 3.  It does not require any applicant details, though. 

 

I provided a Google Map with address typed in the margin, and building labeled.   As usual, no TM.30, no lease, bank letter day before, most recent bankbook update 2 months ago (fixed account).   I think they threw away the 90-day confirmation page I had in my bundle.  Excellent appointment service as always -- go directly to the L1 window, no ticket required.

Thanks for report + links to forms. 

 

Regarding the FD account. 

No photocopies of pages etc 

What does "most recent update 2 months ago" Mean. 

When I was using FD at CW I would update on day of application by way of making a deposit. 

[retiree]

Sorry, yes, the usual copies of bankbook & passport pages, and arrival slip.

• What does "most recent update 2 months ago" Mean. 

I have never gotten a letter the day of, and I have never made a deposit since opening the account 20+ years ago.  Interest is posted every three months, and the posting date is the last entry that shows up in my bankbook.  Only questioned once years ago (by a new IO), and straightened out by her boss.

Relying on the quarterly up-dates in the (fixed acct) bank book could be risky, at least at Immo/CW.

 

To be safe, as Dr. Jack recommends, you should update the bank book on the day you are applying for an extension (retirement)  by depositing/withdrawing a nominal amount to generate an entry in the bank book.

 

It is no trouble to do so, since you also have to go to the bank to get the account verification letter and annual bank statement.

 

Since my fixed account is with SCB,  I go to the nearest SCB branch on the morning when I process my annual extension to do the bank book update, letter confirming the account balance, and annual statement. 

 

It costs me 400 baht and has never failed.

Uh, ok, just sayin' I've done it this way at CW for 20+ years.  The balance letter is 100 baht from KB, and I have never even seen an annual statement.

CW has not been open for 20 years, it was Suan Phlu until about 2009

Very kind of you, but I download the most recent online forms the day of my application and always have to fill in their "new form" when I get to the IO???????

Right you are.  I did it this way at Suan Phlu the first five years or so.   Main point being that I have never made a deposit after opening my fixed account, nor gotten a letter on the day of my extension.

Yes, same same. Coming to Immigration with pre filled STM 2+9 I always get new ones to fill in on side and signing in front of the IO.

Yep....every single time....555

I brought in STM.2, STM.9, and a copy (from last year) of the unnumbered "Statement ..." form that does not seem to be available on line. 

 

The Statement form was thrown away, and replaced with the STM.11 (which apparently they filled out for me).  I think I only had to sign the STM.11 and the Criteria forms.  

 

On the way out I asked for a new set, and was given TM.7, STM.2, 9, and 11, and the signature-only Criteria for Consideration of ...  form.

You can just do a B/F - Balance Forward, no need to deposit/withdraw.
