Current trends at Samui Immigration when renewing extensions based on retirement

Useful information sent in by a Samui Times reader with regards to retirement visa applications.

Anyone due to renew shortly could make the practice a little easier by preparing the following:

1. Their duly completed TM 47 including a new photo.
2. Copies of their bio (photo) page and entry pages of passport & departure card.
3. A satellite map showing coordinates and a neat ruled line pointing to their property.
4. Copies of rental agreement, house book & landlords ID where applicable.
5. Embassy letter (& have a rough idea re current exchange rate).
6. Redacted online bank statement(s) reflecting activity consistent with their visa status.
7. The correct fee (THB 1,900).
   

By avoiding the usual choke points & adhering to normal rules re ‘Govt Building’ they’ll be served and on their way in under an hour.

Sincerely,

James Wormold
