Hi

 

Just some feedback on my extension with my annual Retirement visa (800k) at Changwattana.  I had a 1 pm appointment.  The big lady who checks the documents asked (as she does each year) for me to draw a map, but I redirected her to the stack of documents I had given her and she found both a google-map printout and a hand drawn map.  It was hassle free.

 

• Printing of the Appointment
• Form TM 7 - This time I completed it on my computer and printed it out
• Update Photo (I used same as last year)
• Passport
• copy Passport copies of the front page showing given names / Passport number / Hologram or Photo
• copy Current Visa (original Non-O Retirement visa from several years ago) 
• copy Current Extension
• copy Last Entry Stamp
• copy Proof of Address:  Copy of House owner Tabian Ban (signed by Wife/Landlord) and
• copy House owner's ID card (signed by Wife/Landlord)
• copy Rental Agreement (I have to renew it each year.  Last time she let me away with an expired rental agreement)
• copy Map pinpointing and detailing Address (Google Maps & hand-drawn)
• Copy  Bank Statements & sign each page. 
• copy update Bankbook to today's date (make a transaction)
• get Letter from Kasikorn (the day before)
• copy (did not ask for) my latest 90-day reporting update slip - TM47 (seems to be new)
• copy (did not ask for) my most recent TM30 residency confirmation receipt

 

After 40 mins I did follow up the delay and 2 minutes later got my passport back.  The only annoying issue was taht the air-conditioning should be better.

 

I also did my 90 Day report (appointment) as I had returned to Thailand from abroad.  It's now done on the 2nd floor. You have to get a token from Reception but I didn't have to join the slow moving queue as I just showed them my printed appointment and they handed me the token.  If another appointment is called before your time and if the person is not there, maybe take a chance and see if she will allow you to be seen before your appointment.  There was no issue when I tried.  

 

I didn't have a Re-entry Permit appointment but at 14:30, I was seen immediately after getting a queue number.  It took 25 minutes to get the passport back.

If anyone has any questions wrt Changwattana and 800K renewal, I’ll try to help, if I can.

Level 3 

@Finlaco

Really great recap, in depth and accurate. 

 

Thanks for taking the time..

excellant report.

one question. Do you still have to get the forms not the ones already mentioned the extra ones required( mostly written in thai)  before going in at the desk inside.

 

cheers

Best to grab a TM7 at desk just prior to entering immigration desk area. 

The have the other forms attached. 

To obtain que ticket they will want to see TM7 filled in. 

If planning on obtained a reentry permit you could also grab a TM8

If you want to download them yourself, the OP in this thread has required links. 

 

@bangkokspurs I had a 1 pm appointment so I wasn’t gonna queue up at the first desk. I had the main forms from the previous year (I always take a fresh set away). The ‘big’ lady who checks the paperwork handed me the extra 2 forms each time and similarly to not signing the copies of my passports until she stamps them, I feel it gives her something to do/find an issue with.  
 

 

I'm not sure if the main information desk has the two additional forms.  They didn’t have last year.  

Your wife makes you renew you rental agreement every year?
