Covid Extension at Chiang Wattana

Arrived pretty late, they handed me out TM7.

Queue Number: 21 numbers to wait.

But: at least ten numbers didn't show up - they skipped those numbers pretty fast. My waiting time was ~20 Minutes

At Counter they handed me the affidavit form out - I gave then my prepared one. Saves time for everyone.

Edit:

They didn't want to see the email from embassy, that they are not issuing letters.

Also didn't want to see TM30

Lady told me the 60 day start today - that's fine.

Extension got approved directly with note I have to do 90 day report 20th of April. Which is one month after I will have left thailand.

For this I have a question: I thought my 90 days start from my first enter?

Do I do 90day report on the first 90 days or I use the date which they told me?

To all admins and contributors at Thai Visa Advice, another big thank you for all your advice and guidance.

Yesterday I successfully completed the renewal of my Non-O based upon being over fifty (retirement) on banked, seasoned money and using the PDF TM7 (in the files section of site), at Chiang Wattana.

Before going I got my bank, Kasikorn, letter verifying that the account is genuine and mine, the letter is called a 'Bank Guarantee letter for immigration' and can be printed in Thai or English and costs 100tb. (I asked at CW and they don't care which language, they just need it in one of these two languages)

Arrived at CW at 6.30am, queue number 121, then 15th in line at section L1 inside immigration.

After getting queue number, 121, I updated my bank book and got a photocopy of the updated page, as recommended by Tod Daniels was ready to go document-wise.

While waiting to be seen by an IO they had a new process to me, document check, followed then by seeing IO.

10.30am the exemption was in my passport and passport back with me.

After a quick photocopy of the new exemption I was in the line for a multi-entry visa and by 11.30am all completed and walking out of CW. Phew!!!!

Oh how I regret that my embassy has stopped issuing the earnings affidavit, it was such an easy process compared to bank money.

However, all done for another year and as said, a big thanks for all the advice, guidance and the answering of my trivial questions. 👍😀😁

A quick story for you...

My good friend's wife went to Chiang Wattana Bangkok yesterday (5/11/18) to do a 90 day report for her husband and she was met with the immigration officer getting very angry with her and refused to allow her to do it....Shouting at her that her husband must do it himself...Stating that you must do 90 day report in person now...

Her reply was, I have been doing it for more than ten years...when did this change?

No answer!

Just told to go away and get your husband.

trying once again to extend my non-o based on marriage to a Thai using my current in country salary. I have payslips for the previous 3 months. Is that enough for Chiang Wattana or do I need the PND1? And do I actually need shareholder documents and all that if I am not applying for a Non-B based on employment?

Do the Non-O visa extension photos with wife really need to be printed on glossy paper and then glued to another piece of paper? (I will be going to Chiang Wattana)
