Today I got my bank letter and one year statement from the bank, in order to go to CW tomorrow to renew my yearly extention for my over 50 non-O.
Then I read a report here saying how easy, crowdwise, CW was last Saturday so a couple of questions:
1) if I go to CW this coming Saturday with my bank letter and statement being 2 days old rather than 1 day, am I going to get grief, I know it says within 7 days but I hear of some people, on this site, getting hassle if left too many days.
2) is CW likely to be bursting tomorrow, Friday, or not too bad. I ask this as for the last 2 years I've used the appointment sysyem, which has been a breeze, but by all accounts that's still not working, and my previous experience of 6am mornings and hours of queues and waiting I'd prefer to avoid if possible.
Any quick feedback based on CW experience would be appreciated.
Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster plans to renew their Non-O visa at Chaengwattana and seeks advice on two main points. First, they question if presenting a bank letter and statement that are two days old would cause issues, given the advice that these documents should be recent (within seven days). Secondly, they want to know how crowded Chaengwattana is expected to be on a Friday compared to Saturday, as they have had a smooth experience with appointments previously. Community members offered feedback that two-day old documents might not pose a problem, and that arriving early after opening can minimize waiting times. They were also informed of the need for a bank book balance update and advised to check if their bank branch has the required services.
