I’m going to renew my retirement extension next month at Bangkok CW, and want to go down the appointment route. As I have  to arrange my bank letter etc, does anyone know what the average waiting time is for an appointment.

There is no wait time IF you have an appointment at C/W.

You show up 10 minutes before, show the gurk in the first cubby your appointment sheet, get the paperwork vetted and go to counter L1-32

If she's waiting on someone just hold up your appointment paper so she sees it and as soon as she's done she'll call you in.

Works like clockwork.

sorry Tod, maybe I didn’t make it clear. I meant when applying for appointment, how many days notice do you normally have to give.

you can book up to 30 days early I believe. use the link I sent you and see if you can book the appointment for the date you want.

Also there is NO advantage booking an appointment for right when they open (8:30) because you'll get caught in the "herd" trying to get in. Same for booking one when they re-open from the lunch closure (13:00). I'd say in the morning book it for 9:30 or 10 and in the afternoon, book it after 13:30..
