Digitalbanana Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) I think I am at the final stage of a first time 1 year extension of stay application based on THAI WIFE. The stamp in pp from nearly 30 days ago says "Application for extension of stay is under consideration of the police dept applicant must contact the temporary permit section in person on ddMMMyyyy." Question is can I just turn up alone with pp to get the 1 yr extension, must wife come along and should I bring all docs along inc bank cert again? All of this was shown about 30 days earlier, accepted and afaik, will not be needed again for this next visit, but can anyone confirm?

lopburi3 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 How long it takes will vary by the office and queue. As said you are OK to do it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuchulainn Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 As far as I can remember it has never happened to anyone on TV (am I right, L/B or Lop3?), but I always take my bank book showing that the B400k has not dropped below that amount during the 30 days wait. Doesn't hurt to take it along (unless you have dipped below the B400k!!!!) JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Not a requirement and I always dip into the cash during the 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I have not seen any report of a problem using the money during the under review period since the change to seasoning of 2 or 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalbanana Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 I did it in CW Immigration today for first time. Just needed passport only - no other documents or even the wife needed although she came. Collect a queue number for "I" counter used for extensions of stay. Queue number was called in under 5 minutes, hand over passport, no questions asked, pp returned 10 minutes later with 1 yr extension in it. There were about 4 other people there doing same at time.

TravelerEastWest Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 If I am busy can I have a Thai staff person pick it up for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
