Changes To The Queue System At Chaengwattana Immigrations

This is only for people who live in Bangkok but it is quite a significant change..

 

Starting Sept 1st, Chaengwattana Immigrations will stop giving queue tickets out at 3:30 although they will still close at 4:30 (or when they take care of every queue ticket outstanding).

 

They're doing this because some of those areas weren't finished serving customers until a full 3 HOURS after Immigrations really closed!

 

A friend went for his ED visa extension a week or so ago, he got there at 2PM or so and got his extension stamped into his passport at 7:45PM!! Then he had to walk all the way to the mouth of Chaengwattana Soi 7 because the free shuttle stops and all the taxis leave that area in front of Immigrations when the government complex closes.

 

Anyway, here's a pic I took of the announcement they have taped up all over the immigrations office (sorry it's blurry)

Always give yourself a day or two leeway, since otherwise you might be facing a surprise trip out of the country.

Well, I can't see any reason to give yourself a day or two lee-way...

 

Seeing as you can renew ANY yearly extension of stay 45 days early out at Chaengwattana.

 

And before someone pipes in; NO!! You don't 'lose any days'.

 

They just tack another year onto your current expiration date.
