just came back from Mukdahan Immigration Office for Retirement Extension

had to sign 2 forms stating that I am a were of the new over stay rules,that are now law

also just before leaving the office,had to show on Google map of Mukdahan where my house was on the map,

she then placed a marker on my home with my name and visa number

well good for one more year

Happy

Moved to Visas for more exposure.

Expect other offices to start something similar.

Thanks for your report.

A positive side of this coming change in overstay policy is they informed you properly of a change in rules. That's nice of them.

Don't fret it having them record your address on Google maps. When I did my first extension based on marriage I had to give them a map, and photos. Then a few days later the immigration police came to my house, (4 of them), had a look around, took a video of me and my wife at the house and interviewed one of my neighbors and took a sworn written statement from him and copies of his papers as well. That was well before this latest coup.

I give top marks to immigration for for disseminating the information efficiently.
