It takes 30 seconds, and maybe do the 90 days report at the same time. Is your time so valuable? I did my 1 year extension at Jomtien last week. I didn't have to sign any documents (or draw a map) other than my batch of copies of this and that. I was out of the office in a few minutes. So, please continue to visit CW or some other office with really ridiculous requirements. immigration for me is 40 km away and take 1 1/2 hour in taxi/traffic single way not everybody lives on walking distance in the city of sin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AlfHuy Posted June 2, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2020 Well, I am back. Story from today: Agent, female, around 87 years young, figure of a beluga wale. Looking grumpy, intimidating. I gave her a little paper with my private phone number and a love heart. She smiled and the atmosphere lightened up. 555 Jokes aside. Much more pleasant lady today. Yesterday, I got all sorted with insurance company, they sent me per email my updated policy and this morning I got a message from them that it is now on immigration database. I gave officer all my paperwork. She checked my policy and checked on compute. There was a problem with the date. It was a difference of one day. She asked me to call insurance agent. I called the agent on the phone and she spoke to the immigration officer. Agent changed the date on the system and after a while, it was changed on the immigration database. I was lucky enough that my Embassy affidavit was accepted. They did not ask for any proof of payment or bank statement of letter from bank or whatsoever. After 1 hour or so, I left with my extension of stay. Happy days and a much more friendly officer. Saved myself 500k Elite visa fee and did not need to show 800k, thanks to the income letter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link to a post by @zoza describing his experience at Jomtien 'the best office in the country'. They are probably the worst in the country when you apply for a marriage Visa or extension (mainly due to the obnoxious female officer handling those applications). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dubious Thai Immigration will get their envelope with the celebrative funds in it from the agent and you get to enjoy your life free of these IM XXXXX, well I won’t say it but I am sure you all know what I am implying about most of them.

Lucky he didn't bite the 40.000 THB agent-bullet. He went back next day after PacificCross had uploaded his policy on the TGIA database (which they had forgotten to do), and got his 1-year extension of stay. Note: The strange Statement-3 document did not require any landlord signature or attendance, but was filled in by himself, stating that he was staying at his address (a nonsense document, but seemingly required).

I have every single document required, copies and even more documents then required. Have you ever seen the Statement 3 or STM.2 or the Acknowledgement of penalties for a visa overstay-form? Yes have seen these documents and have supplied them. Is this your first time for a extension of stay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
