1 year extension of stay at Rayong immigration in my case #5. You can get extension within 20 Minutes, in my case just 15 minutes if you are well prepared and your paperwork is according to the very simple immigration requirements . 1. Go there on Wednesday or Thursday ( my experience in Rayong) 2. Have all required documents ready on hand 3. Proper dress 4. No need for agent 5. Make sure you have latest Bank statements (12 months + Bank letter) available as well as updated (same day as application) ATM update. 6. My recommendations only applies if you meet the $$$ or affidavid requirements. By the way, it took me just 1 hour to complete TM 7, drive to copyshop and get the documents done since they are always same. One hour per year, not bad, child labour, Kindergarden

LMAO. 5555. Grown men stating how they have better things to do yet here they are bickering like children at the school smoke pit passing judgment on how other people choose to live their lives. You're in Thailand. I like the tie saying Live and Let Live. 5555
