Still Available?

[Dah fahrang]

Just starting to prepare for the usual annual extension of stay, retirement, based on income.

Perusing British Embassy web-site for their latest information and charges, but cannot find any reference to this service.

All I can find is statement below, but this does not make specific reference to the Proof of Income Letter as before.

Also, no reference to payment by Postal Order appears on their web-site.

Any recent experience from members of TV?

Is the service still available?

Doi they still accept postal orders?

Thanks!
