I am dreading going to Cheung Wattana next week. I am 70 and sometimes find it very hard to walk. I have had my ‘Thai wife ‘ visa extended here annually for the last 10 yrs and spent a whole day there with my wife a month ago submitting all the papers for an extension. I guess all the papers were okay as the passport was stamped ‘under consideration ‘ and I am required to attend again on 14th which is when I think they usually get another update on my bank book then stamp the passport for another year.

I think (hope) it’s really straightforward but I really don’t want to hang about in the crowds of CW for hours.

I know I am supposed to collect it in person but is there any other way- agent or something of doing things I that I don’t have to be there in person?

And before more people start to advice to use expensive offices to carry your passport I close it down.

You can call the Immigration Office and ask if your wife is allowed to do it for you, but that does not make the Immigration less dangerous than the local supermarket to buy groceries.
