Early extension renewal time increase at KCI

[urleft]

Couple years back the US Consulate in Chiang Mai was requiring you to show proof of income to getting this affidavit. Chiang Mai Immigration was also requiring all US citizens to show proof along with the letter. This has  been stopped. Don't be surprised to see this reinstated.

OK with me, I was surprised when I didn't have to show any proof (I had it with me).  Maybe they thought if I could afford the Embassy $50 notary fee I had the income.   I am rarely surprised by the US GVT requiring paperwork, only by them making something easy.

Visa Retirement Extensions are a bit like Wife's /Girlfriends

Some say " I got my Visa Extension by going to the Local Immigration Office myself and this is my Wife,I met her when she was working in a Department Store"

I think more people use Visa Agents than they let on and most didn't meet the wife in a Department store ...

But hay...who cares as long as we are all happy

, and I know a Brit that got one from the UK Embassy and he said he didn't have to prove income either. 

The British Embassy have always needed evidence to back up your income (for the last 10+ years) when providing an Income Letter.

Maybe your 'friend' just worked out a way of providing counterfeit evidence?

I am just glad I can go the legit route because I would guess that one day in the not to distant future, things will get harder for people without adequate income/balances.

I am just glad I can go the legit

Me too. I've been on a Marriage Extension for 9 years now,these go to Bangkok Immigration to be checked and can't be obtained by the Visa Agent route.
But I know a guy that split up and Divorced his wife and was skint.He went to Pattaya and obtained a retirement extension from the Visa Agent and then started putting down people that had done the same.Lots of phoney guys around   
As Co Co said " these people then have the option to go legit." especially when their finances change ,then they can get back on their high horse's and take the moral ground,pretending they have always been whiter than white

Paying for 90 reports

I think there is a good chance you could get this done for free if you are on a Retirement Extension  ( or for the price of a few stamps )

Anyone tried it

Locally KCI and Korat due not accept post but will accept someone else reporting for you under special conditions. As for posting only if your on holiday, 2 times in a row is iffy..

Nobody forces you to be idle; with adequate qualifications/experience, some people chose to still work for a better life (like Stevo, Gary@Staffords, Alan the Builder and many many more).
There is no reason to belittle someone who has the 'balls' to get up and improve his (and his families) fortunes under sometimes difficult circumstances.

Its down to personal choice, there are no right or wrongs, BOLOA
