I already do online banking via my iPad. Is this better than just a phone app. I’m thinking of selling my UK house so will no longer be a resident. I can however use a friends UK address. I use Wise to transfer my monthly65k Baht for my extension so would like to keep my UK account.

What time should I arrive at Chaengwattana immigration to avoid long queues?

Frederick *********

I renewed my retirement extension there last December. I took Tod Daniels advice and made an on line appointment, ( very easy to do). It was on time and everything went smoothly, can’t imagine just turning up now and waiting most of the day to be seen. Or, waiting in a long line from 6-7am waiting for the place open.
