What Is the Process of Extending a Stay Based on Retirement at Chaeng Wattana Immigration?

Hi all, just wanted to share my experience from Immigration division 1, at Chaeng Wattana, Bangkok.

Yesterday I went to apply for extension of stay based on retirement and to transfer stamps.

I had filled in all forms and copied all the necessary passport pages at home.

But when meeting the first officer she added more forms to fill in:

1. A form where I by oath told that I lived at the actual address. Name and and address had to be filled in three times. The last page was half in thai language and signature marked.

I asked kindly what it meant and what I was signing, but the "nice officer" just said "complete form" showing an annoyed face.

2. A form where I admitted that I had understood the rules of overstay and what could happen if I did.

3. I was asked to draw a map showing the way from IO to my house.

These new forms were new to me, and drawing a map... thought it was only for marriage extension.

(Next time I'll bring my wife, it's always more smooth when she follows..)

Everything was extremely slow yesterday. Because of terrible traffic I arrived 10.10 am and left 17.15 pm, at home 19.30
