Thanks for the info. I'll have to do my extension soon and it's nice to know the process and requirements have not changed.

My extension is due in April so things could change I suppose but at least Mojaco confirms the present requirements are the same as last year. Thank you for the info.

Thank you Mojaco

That is a really helpful post. We may be doing our first extension this year and it is nice to no that we will be dealing with professional government officials. Some of the posts here had me fearing the worst.

My wife and I are both Americans and follow exactly the same procedure as you at CW for our retirement extension, which is coming up again in a couple of weeks. You said you had everything ready in advance. Did that also include the form for the "dependent?" In the past, we have been given this form only after arriving at CW and presenting everything else, then had to exit the booth to fill it out and wait (not so long) to return. If you had it in advance, where did you get it? (They wouldn't let us take a blank one for next time.) Is it available on line?

Ubonjoe, do you know?

Both I, as the husband "retiree", and my wife, as the "dependent" used the same downloaded form TM7 which we had filled out in advance of going to Immigration. On mine, as the "retiree" I put for the line "Reason(s) for extension" the sentence "To retire in Thailand". For my wife's as the "dependent" she put the reason as "To stay with husband". No special form was required. She probably should have put more fully for the reason "To stay with husband as his dependent" but no question was asked.

While at the officer's desk she gave us that form " acknow_con2stay.pdf" Ubonjoe gave the link for (the newest version) and had me fill mine out and just had my wife simply sign her copy without filling it out. There was another form she gave us to sign about the new overstay regulations. We did all of that at her desk.

As a side note, we went to Chaeng Wattana Immigration 44 days before our previous extension was up (43 days if the end date isn't counted). They allow up to 45 days there.
