Rooo Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Change your address now, one of the first requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Different Immigration Offices have different requirements. Advise to go & check on what their requirements are, get address changed. Basic requirements: Rent contract.( If you rent ) Copy of blue book / house book Some require a picture of you & the owner outside the house with the house number showing. Folks can add more or correct the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend & his wife did their extensions a couple of weeks apart a few weeks ago, one no medical , the other was asked for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we don't have much alternative on the island and need to prepare annual extension from what others and kind enough to report back – I'm due next month...

Keep easy, i think now if you have all the papers needed, it can be done in - i will say- 2 hours maximum. People look so happy to be in this new place, i think that help a lot.

Thanks – but I'm quite relaxed, as I never have had any problems at Samui Immigration with my retirement extensions from 2007 onward; always been treated kindly and quick service, also from so-called "Birdman" – however, some of the advises from other Thai Visa members has helped me a lot in correct preparation, as rules often change a bit from year-to-year; like Google-map and now survey and health certificate. Therefore I'm glad that others report back about correct present paperwork... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evadgib Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 That's what happens when responsibility requiring ministerial interpretation and dissemination in the real world is delegated to one-up from a bloke with a whistle in the car park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
