ORIGINAL POSTER

Yesterday I was at Immigration Chonburi (Jomtien) and I got the extension of stay for 365 days (Retirement).  Since I carefully prepared all the documents, including copies, the visit only lasted 15 minutes.  In addition, everyone there can extend their visa 40 days before it expires due to the Songkran holiday.  Today the visa was handed out, and then I immediately applied for the re-entry stamp and got it after about 30 minutes.
