I went to Kalasin Immigration for an extension of stay due to retirement. I got there at the opening time of 08:30 and was first in line and out the door at 09:30. I am a Canadian so use a letter from my embassy as proof of income. I showed that my Passport with a copy of each used page, my yellow book and pink ID card and a copy of each. The officer then asked for a copy of my wife's ID card and Bluebook and I had them with me so showed them. I had the TM8 form filled out and a picture. And the reentry form for one entry and picture. That was it, previous years they had me sign a couple of other forms, but not this year. ฿1,900 for the extension and ฿1,000 for the single reentry. They also updated my 90 day reporting. A very simple process. my praise to the Kalasin Immigration department.

Went to Chiang Rai IO this morning for clarification on Embassy Income letter for extension of visa based on

Marriage and was told - no more Embassy income letters accepted only 400000 baht in bank for 2 months. When I query it they replied new policy. It's obvious from other posts on Thai visa that IO's left hand does not know what it's right hand is doing, as income letters are still acceptable in some IO offices. Wish Thai IO would clarify.
