Hi guys Just an update for your benefit. 

I went to the immigration office in Kap Choeng (Surin State) to extend my retirement visa. They required the bank statement and bank book be updated the day i applied ( had the bank statement done the day before and it was rejected) . Note that this was no problem last year. 

Also only one person at the outside counter doing all the paperwork by hand and it took ages to process all the ten people present before me. 

Got there at 9.30 am and out at 4.30 pm. 

The good news is that the immigration office will relocate to Surin city next month.

Answer summary

A recent visit to the immigration office in Kap Choeng, Surin, revealed new requirements for extending retirement visas. Applicants must ensure that their bank statements and bank books are updated on the day of application; previously, statements done the day before were accepted. The office is also reportedly understaffed, leading to long wait times, with one person handling all paperwork for multiple applicants. Additionally, it is noted that the immigration office will be relocating to Surin city in the coming month.
