Retirement Extension No. 2

[begurk1137]

I changed last year from ED to retirement and now it's time to renew the retirement extension. Have my letter from the UK Consulate on adequate regular income & TM7. Has anything changed since last year? Any surprises in the system?

Do I have to provide photocopies of blank passport pages & signed?

How many days in advance of the previous extension expiring should I go apply for the next?

Will the next extension start on the day I apply or from the day the old one expires?

I'll be doing my 90-day Report at the same time. Any strategies for minimizing wait time? I'm usually early in the queue, so visa first then report or vice versa?

Cheers,

K.

Which immigration office will you be using ?

There are slight differences between various offices in regard to specific requirement.

Generally speaking you will be asked to provide the same paperwork as was used to obtain the first extension.

Most offices will accept applications 30 days in advance and a few 45 days in advance. The new extension will be dated as from the expiry date of the current extension.

3 photographs and signed copies of all relevant paperwork.

Did mine 2 weeks ago in Jomtien. 15 minutes including my waiting time, then go back next day for the passport. Got a multi entry passport in about 15 minutes the next day

Thanks, reassuring. Get a bit nervous when thing are in flux, even if it seems to be only on the borders, so far...
