Just wanted to give a quick review of annual extension for retirement at CW.

2 weeks ago I went to my scheduled appointment time and even with all the information I had to hand write my reasoning for switching provinces from Samut Prakarn to Bangkok. All in all it went pretty well and the officer said that they were working to do a fast approval and to come back today with an updated bank book and bank letter.

Arrived this morning and within about 15 minutes had that submitted and my passport returned with the stamp through March 2024.

I walked away telling myself that's great. Still a total of 2 trips but no under consideration stamp. I just paid today and got the yearly. Not sure if this is a growing trend or not. Plus side only 1 stamp in passport haha

They were really focused on the bank balances more so than I've had in previous years so guessing that's more a CW thing.

Thanks to Tod for privately answering a couple of questions I had prior to scheduling. As always very helpful.
