Yes. That is why I did it online this time. Maybe they will change it back after September. In any case I get to go back to CW in October/November for my 1 year extension.

Got it this morning. Thanks. I actually liked going to CW once in a while but it is nice knowing I have the online option as well.

I did mine online yesterday (on a Mac). I was going to wait a couple of days for approval but seeing you post I check and got approval also.

I have a pdf with a green "approved" on the top of it. I assume that this is my receipt.

OK. Well . . . we all know each office is a little different. I’m expecting Bangkok to want to see 1 year of bank statements.

@John *********
It depends when you last applied. They only started enforcing this after October. When I applied last October none of this including the insurance applied. I will have to meet the new requirements this November.

Note there also another separate letter you need to get from your bank that simply says you have an account. You get this letter no more than a week or a couple of days before you go into the immigration office to apply for your extension.

From what I understand most local branches can only print out 6 months of your statement. To go back a full year then they have to asked the main branch and this is the source of the few days delay. Whatever your bank says. Do that.

@John ****
You have to split it between two banks?

And as James mentioned, it may take up to a week to get the yearlong statement and they may charge you a fee.
