Got mine last month. They told me to bring my passbook updated on the date of collection showing the money still there! So. Money needs to be there 2 months before, then keep it there until you pick up your approved extension.
I don't know to be honest, only my personal situation . I'd actually asked our landlady who lives close to us, to redo the lease in joint names to try and stop any problems arising. I wasn't expecting the issue of the owners tabien baan and ID and so that took me by surprise and another visit!
Take your wife! I did my 60 in April then got my year extension last month. They sent me home the first time because my wife wasn't with me. Luckily, we only live 5km away!
ok..but you still need to get your new passport updated with this info at thai consulate...if you simply enter without doing this..the new passporr will not show the details so will end up with a visa exempt stamp
