slightly ADJUSTED PROCESS :

 

at Immigration Division 1, Chaengwattana, 'it used to be' the officer checked all documents, stamped and signed; then we took the documents to the 'back office' and another officer ( senior ) checked the document again and we paid B1,900 to that officer.

 

this morning, after the front officer checked the document, stamped and signed, we paid B1,900 to the front officer; then she asked us waiting at the seating.  in 15 minutes, the student trainee called my name and the front officer asked us copying our stamped documents, 1 copy.  we came ack with the copy, then my passport returned.  ( I guess it is a kind of cost saving ? )

 

Hmmm . . . the front officer is actually dealing with different applicants at the same time: the couple sits in front of her, and she instructs other applicants on copying of documents, and she returns passports to other applicants.

 

while I was sitting in front of her, I saw my documents been mixed up with others.  luckily she managed everything in good order !

How long the money need to stay in bank account for 1 year visa renewal?

For a retirement extension, based on money in the bank, the money needs to be in the bank for 2 months prior to the application. It is also required to maintain the 800k for 3 further months after the extension is issued... then 400k can be spent. IE Retain 400 k until you need to reinstate the 800k, 2 months prior to a subsequent application.
