The office for visa exempt extensions is at IT Square in Lak Si. I suggest you make an appointment so you don’t have to wait in that long line up.

@James *******

I know. The many times I’ve been there, they’ve never let us in at that time. Either way, it’s easily enough to go and get what you red done before the office opens up. I wish IT Square was set up like CW. The only thing I like about IT Square is making an appointment and not having to wait in that crazy line up.

@James *******

really? When I was there last it wasn’t 5:30am that they let us in the building. It was closer to 6:30ish.

I only go there to file my TM30 which is never busy either. Always the first person to get into see her.

Wouldn’t she still have to take a queue number? I’d think showing up at that time it would mean a long wait. I know shouldn’t question you and your knowledge though 😉.

@Michel ****

I’m well aware what time they open up. I take it you have never been there before. Trust me, I know what I’m talking about. I’m there every 4-5 months.

I’m not there that early. I usually arrive around 4-5am so I’m not at immigration all day. I much prefer to be there that early, copy anything I need and relax with the wife and have something to eat and a coffee while I wait for them to open. They usually let you in the building around 7am.

@Annina ******

do you have an actual visa or are you here on a visa exempt stamp? It makes a difference as where you go for the extension.

@Brandon ***********

Bangkok still does.

- information for anyone who’s curious.

@Peter *******

open your eyes and read the thread. I’ve posted a lot more information to back up my claims. 🙄

@Graeme ******

not stock market, I don’t have the balls to mess around in that field as I don’t have any knowledge.

I have it in a TD Comfort Growth Portfolio. It’s not in the upper high risk/reward, it’s more middle upper risk category. Before I came to Thailand I went to my personal banker at TD and gave him 100k to invest and this is where he put it. So far I’m happy with the results. In another 2 years I’ll drop another 100k in there and hope for the best. I’ve pulled out about 30k in the past year or so and it hasn’t put any dent into it. The unrealized gains have been good, except when Trump first came back into office. But that was only a small dip then and it has bounced back even stronger now.

@Graeme ******

my money isn’t in any savings or chequing account. It’s in an investing account where I’ve made out great the past couple of years. I’m not going to make anything even remotely close in any Thai bank.

@Darren *****

sure. Check your PM.
