Do you have a link for that thread?
 


Nothing about retirement or marriage extensions.

Thailand's Immigration Bureau has unveiled plans for an ambitious new online visa extension project.

Expats will be able to extend their visas within just three minutes slashing waiting times.

RTP national chief Pol Gen Damrongsak Kittipraphat said that the e-Extension would enhance visa services as extension requests can be lodged online.

The new service encompasses the whole process including fee payment via a dedicated website, Thaiextension.vfsevisa.com.

Damrongsak claimed that the new process will reduce application process times from one hour to three minutes.

The e-Extension comes after former Royal Thai Poliuce chief Pol Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk moved to modernize systems for the benefit of the public, reported Daily News yesterday.

A pilot project will run for expats living and working in Bangkok according to 12 reasons.

However, they must still show up in person to verify their identity and get a visa sticker at the main IB office at the Government complex on Chaeng Wattana Road.

Plans are in the pipeline to expand the service to all IB offices nationwide in the future.

The 12 reasons/areas are for:

1. Tourism purposes.
2. Teachers at public schools
3. Studying at public schools
4. Working in government agencies
5. For original Thai people
6. Resident families
7. Mass media
8. Teaching and research in government agencies
9. Installing and repairing machinery
10. Medical experts.
11. Vehicle operators
12. Embassy requests.


There are currently 200,000 requests under those 12 criteria annually and that is only going up especially in Bangkok.

Applications can be made via phone or computer.

 
There is no way this online version will happen for the vast majority of us plebs. Just think of the repercussions if it did. They would have to downsize the staff employed in all the Immigration offices by some 80% if not more. Surely so many redundancies wouldn't be acceptable. All they would need is an admin person to process the online apps. The rest could go home on long-term gardening leave.

I suppose, all the expats here could have a whip around for T.C. Medusa to buy her a pair of high heels- plenty of
Indian rats would inundate her, once.
