Retirement Extension for Dummies ver 2015

Was planning on traveling to Kap Choeng today; info says they are closed today.  Another info source indicates they will be open only Friday and Saturday for the rest of this week?  Wanting confirmation, anybody know for sure?

No reason to be closed as not a holiday. Call them at 044559127

Any chance that you post a link where you got that info from ?

Immigration is NEVER opened on a Saturday and thats nation wide. Time you change your sources.

So much for believing their web site. 
No one answered the phone when we called earlier in the day.  Wifey called Kap Choeng Police to inquire; was told Immigration was open, Chinese day or not. 
We made the drive - they were open. 
Completed step 1 of my extension process (transfer to new Passport) with an additional 19 days added to Visa expiration date.  Plan changed to doing the actual extension in Buriram after they make the move, "scheduled for the 1st; but, call Kap Choeng to confirm it actually happened."  Quote, unquote.

Went to Kap Choeng this morning for my first annual extension. 
#1.  It is still in Kap Choeng; move to Buriram - maybe Oct; maybe Dec; maybe 2560. 
#2. Switched from Marriage to Retirement type.  No problem.
#3. No 'home visit' req'd due to "you - yellow book - no need proof where live". Seemed to me the 'yellow book' works like a magic wand.
Actually, it was fairly simple; most of the copied materials I had were not needed. Thanks to Keith (urleft) for getting me ready!

How many sets of the documents do they want?

one

Went to BI today and asked for their required forms.  They gave me a TM 7 and the attached. 

I should find out more during my next scheduled extension (Feb 2017).  I actually hope it is just this simple, but I don't really believe it. 

Any feedback from others?


My recommendation is to provide exactly what they state in a prepared packet.  I might even include this form with each provided document checked.  However, as backup I would have the additional forms specified on post #1.

I have a 2nd hand report that BI has the authority to approve Retirement extensions, therefore this BI document requirements could be correct.

Do you not read other peoples' posts?

It has already been confirmed that Retirement extentions are being approved.

Do you ever engage your brain before you post?

Quote one person that posted on this forum since Buriram Immigration opened that specifies what total documents are needed for a retirement extension.  I never saw that post.  There was a post that some of the forms have changed, but the forms were not identified.  There was also a post that all the copies were not needed, but again, what extra copies were not identified.

You said you had 2nd hand info that Buriram approves extensions.

I said it has already been confirmed.

That is all.

Thanks.

Bearing in mind the officers, and I believe the supervisor, were trained in KCI would it not be probable that the requirements would be the same?

Why worry anyway? It is only once a year.
