ORIGINAL POSTER

Thanks to Tod and the other "Moderators" on this site I did my 1 Year Marriage Ext at Chaeng Wattana yesterday  (02.02.2022) in record time. We even got a thank you for using the online appointment system. My wife said the IO was impressed with the Presentation and Preparation of my documents. Thanks again for the Info you guys provide.

A couple of points raised on this site recently;

No ATK Test, just filled out the Form. 

6 Months Bank Statement , Bank Letter and Up Dated Bank Book 300 Baht. (Took Just 15 Mins).

Ext is now "Under Consideration" until 2nd March and I'm looking to book an online Appointment, but cant see "Under Consideration" listed on the system. Is it not possible?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user successfully extended their marriage visa at Chaeng Wattana, noting that the process was efficient thanks to online appointment booking. They highlighted that no ATK test was needed, only a form and required documentation including a 6-month bank statement, bank letter, and updated bank book. After the extension was submitted, it was marked 'Under Consideration' until March 2nd. Users in the comments discussed their experiences with follow-up visits for final stamp collection, noting that usually no appointment is necessary and wait times can be short.

Same experience and I go back a day before you. Our officer said just get a cue ticket and seemed unconcerned that it would take very long.

I used the online appointment too but didn’t bother getting the normal cue ticket there as we showed the emailed appointment to the person letting people into the L area. Our officer at the end as we were finishing then wanted a photocopy of the appointment (my email)! That was the only hickup 😂

they seem to want the email OR the screen grab you get when you register for the appointment. This print out worked too

last time I had an appointment for my extension I had to hold up the paper that stated the seasoning of the funds AND the appointment paper under my face when they took my photo 😛

I have never waited for the final stamp more than 15-20 minutes. Last time (however it was very empty - Dec 28th) I got it immediatelly.

Congrats (y)

really glad it worked out for you. 🙂

Sadly there is no appointment booking for when you go back to 'close the loop' on an under consideration stamp.

You just show up with your passport, bank book (update it that day and make a copy of that page) and get a queue for section L-2. It isn't that bad a wait in that section as a rule
