Under consideration for retirement extension
« on: June 30, 2015, 03:20:19 PM »
 Under consideration for retirement extension.
As of today (and yes I have seen the stamp and passport) KCI is now issuing a UNDER CONSIDERATION STAMP until immigration comes to your residence to for verification. KCI even verified the individuals address by using Google Earth with GPS coordinates for the investigating i/o to use for no extra charge. This will require two trips to KCI for your retirement extension. Stay tuned for further updates.

We'll see how this plays out over the next few days and weeks.. The wife and I have some interesting questions for them, when and if they call us and then show up at the house.. The biggest thing is if this is a one time thing because this is my first extension or is this going to be the norm every year.. Also, there was no warning anywhere on this.. So this has to be brand new otherwise they would not have researched and printed out a map free of charge.. We also want to know is if they'll be issuing instructions on how to apply for Non Immigrant visas that include this little tid bit?  So far, looks like this just happened and caught them a little off guard as well.. This also means a second trip to KCI to get the extension done.. Interesting to say the least..

Interesting. 


Would be nice to know if any expat that already had a retirement extension has to get this check when getting a new extension. 



Unfortunately, IMHO this is a result of Expats "gaming" the system.  My guess is that expats using visa services to get their extensions will be the next target.  Subject to on-going graft. 



I don't really have an issue with them checking out my humble abode, but I would hope they would issue the extension then revoke it if I provided false residence.  Another trip to KCI within a few weeks is painful.  Even with pleasure of seeing GL.

Sorry to be so dumb, but by extension are you referring to the 90 day reporting or a new visa, as my 90 days is up later this month.

This is about applying for a new extension of stay from KCI Immigration based on Retirement and has nothing to do with doing 90 day reports or doing visa runs.

An extension of stay is what you request when your "permitted to stay" by date has expired. That is obtained from immigration. With the correct documents you can apply for a 1 year extension based on retirement, marriage or taking care of your children.

A 90 day report is just that. You go to immigration, post or report online.

A visa is obtained outside of the country and is what is used to enter the Kingdom.

I went on 25 June for my first retirement extension and got only until 31 July while they check where I live. I don't understand why that is necessary if I haven't been out of the country for a year. My problem is that we will be in Phuket for one week holiday when the extension expires (meeting my sister on holiday from Australia). The immigration man was understanding and aims to get everything done before we leave but ... who knows?  smilenod

Cynical maybe but this coincides with the on line 90 day reporting. Perhaps IO's now have less to do so are out on the road justifying their existence

Judging by the amount of people in Jomtien  Imm yesterday doing their 90 day reports,not too many are doing it on-line
