@Ellie ******

I got it almost at the same date as if I applied 45 days before. So the 2 weeks is enough to process application. To my surprise IMM not asked to update bank book at all.

@Tod ********

is it enough to file on myself? I use old system for years. I just need for myself, have yellow house book…

New system looks like it for businesses only but not for condo owners.

It was never one day. And the consideration time depends on your IMM office. In Bangkok and some other provinces 45 days, others 30 days before your current extension expires

> So do I (and my wife) need to go apply in person at Chaengwattana

YES and EVERY time when you need extension. Moreover, IF you have child, now or in the future, you ALL must go to CW Immigration. So, expect some kingergarden experience at IMM office 🙂

The things to make life easier:

You can pre-book your visit online

You can go alone to pick-up final stamp after a month, no family members needed

1900 THB payment please make a sum w/o changes, officers will be thankful. You can withdraw 1900 from ATM.

AT CW IMM you have 45 days to apply before your current extension expires, more flexible, many provinces will give you only 30 days.

By my experience, the more years you do extensions, the more relaxed officers will be, and whole process will be faster.

(logically) why you must come with whole family - IMM will take your photo together (sometimes you hold marriage certificate in hand, sometimes not, they tell you) and if have child, chill will be in that photo too. Also, IMM will give your wife several papers to sign off, and they also check HER documents (ID and House registration)

@Tod ********

thanks for all!

@Tod ********

Mine is CW IMM Division 1, and I use Bangkok Bank account.

@Tod ********

Thanks, Tod! Is there any reason to get bank letter on the day of deposit, or not? Or just update passbook? I not use banking method for years, not remember most of details.

@Ellie ******

so, you recommend to visit CW let's say in the beginning of January to get updates (if any) from IMM?

@Ellie ******

Sorry I forget to mention the IMM office is CW IMM Division 1. So, make deposit by the end of December is good to apply by 1st March (two full calendar days, and will be definitely more than 60 days).

@James *******

thanks now it’s clear.
