Turns out much better...the lovely wife gets a call from SI at about 10:45 saying the paperwork has arrived. I leave at 12:15 and arrive SI at 1:05. Everything done by 1:20 with smiles all around and I'm good 'til 28 May, 2020.
My wife and I visited Buriram Immigration today. We paused to get a letter and statement from the bank. My wife had forms I'd never seen before and she got help, for a price, filling them out. I later learned that she had been asked to pay more than 1900 for the visa. We're both pondering going back to 90 day border bounces.
Home visit is next. 2,000 in the envelope?
I return next month with another letter and statement from the bank.
I return in eight weeks for the extension. I remember someone posting that Khon Kaen takes up to eight weeks to approve an application. That appears to be true.
