Why the new TM7? Was yous typed out & they wanted it hand-written?
Exactly what supporting documents did you have to provide and how many of each?

Hi,i think the new TM7 was just a ploy so the BIB got some tea money, mine was hand -written so i just copy my particulars,and BIB helped with Thai,its about the same thats on the first page thats already in English.Documents:Must take with you,Bank book,First page Name and Account No,
All pages in Bank book.Passport page showing picture and expiration date.All pages with a Thai visa stamp.Arrival Card or Departure Card.Letter from Bank confirming THB, 800,000 in Account for 3 months,Bank book must have same date as letter showing same money in account as in letter i did mine the day before. Proof of Address in my case g/f house book and ID card,All one copy of each ,i took two of each because you never know if the goalposts have been moved.

OK thanks for the info bonghead. Since it's a 240Km round trip from my house to KCI, I want to make sure I get it right first time, which is also why I'm changing from a marriage extension to a retirement extension, so I don't have to make an extra trip to collect the extension stamps after the 30 day under consideration period.....

Hi bonghead, I realised that was a requirement of the TM7.
Thanks
