Maybe in the south but I doubt anything in Jomtien is done in 1-2 hours with the amount of people going to use Jomtien Immigration. I'd say you'd be lucky to be done in half a day there waiting for your 30 day extension.

I'm wondering if with that yellow ticket number and 8:30am I can just go to Counter 1 or do I have to line up again with everyone else and get a queue number for Counter 1?

Absolutely it's insane and it pissed me off so much. Complete waste of two trips for nothing. I'm wondering if with that yellow ticket number and 8:30am I can just go to Counter 1 or do I have to line up again with everyone else and get a queue number for Counter 1?

That was the only one time I was on a visa exempt due to the 45 days being given on entry, as opposed to the usual 30 days. Not a rejection, just the queue number lady asking to come back. All other times I've been on multiple entry tourist visas for many, many years. Always extended 3-4 weeks prior to stamp expiry with no questions & no problems.

Not gonna happen where I'm renting. There's about 8 security guards, bins are emptied twice a day (should be more as sometime's it's overflowing) and the roads at the condo gets swept of leaves daily by 4 Burmese workers.

I thought the hospital was in Sweden when I read the title "Thai Restaurant Owner in Sweden " I'm really not sure what that has to do with a hospital she went to when she was in Thailand. Weird headline.

As I mentioned in my other thread, I've always had no issues extending both at Jomtien & BKK up to 30 days prior to stamp expiry for many, many years already. I guess I was able to charm my way past the man guarding the entrance to the building without saying anything to him, both times ;)

Continuing on from this thread: Went to Jomtien Immigration again to try and extend for 30 days. I initially went on the 21st November and was told to come back 3-4 days prior and today I was told by the queue desk come back one (1) business day prior to stamp expiry (my stamp expiry is on a Sunday). I handed the girl my paperwork & passport without staying anything, and all was good with the paperwork. She looked at the stamp and said come back one (1) business day prior. I told her that last time in November I was told to come back one week before expiry already, that's why I'm here and she said ask at Counter 1, the exact same story as I was told last time by the other queue number girl (there are only 2 of them). Went to Counter 1 and the lady looked at my paperwork and talked to the man, and same thing they said come back one (1) business day prior to expiry. This is insane. I've got the pics to prove it, not like everyone else here on the forum that's been posting rubbish that Jomtien has no problems with extending whenever they wish or saying they saw with their own eyes that people were getting queue numbers who were there prior than a couple of days before their expiry stamp. I will believe my own experiences, and so should everyone else. Nobody else has provided any proof, but I have below. This person also had the exact same experience as me.

Both girls at the queue counter were the same, as were the woman and man at Counter 1 for the 30 day extensions. See below of today's experience at Jomtien: Went to Jomtien Immigration again to try and extend for 30 days.

Seems BKK has a 50% off sale compared to Jomtien.

Being a renter you don't need to worry about these issues or the deadbeats who don't pay their yearly maintenance fees. Just another reason not to be an owner here in Thailand, in addition to the many others.

Grab a couple of bottles from 7/11 and enjoy at the beach. That's how the locals celebrate.

Can't hear the other side of the story when nobody knows the name of the market as it's unnamed and the Thai man is unidentified lol

These news articles are just stupid. No name of the market at all. Why the hell even bother reporting such nonsense?

Tombuys in Thailand still look very feminine. Unlike Tomboys in the west, that's another story lol

1,600 baht fine at Jomtien if you are late in doing a TM30

Yes, you do need to get out more

I'm guessing the only men in the Tomboy bar would be the bouncers/security staff.

No, not true at all. Laos has an Evisa but you MUST present your printed Evisa when entering and you get a smaller visa put into your passport on arrival.

Yep, the OP didn't follow what the Evisa site tells everyone. Show your letter on arrival.

That's where you went wrong. I remember the Evisa site clearly saying you need to present the letter to them when you arrive into Thailand.

What happens if the OP entered via land? Immigration office may suggest the OP to go back to the same land border?

It's probably something like 98% from the gays, ladyboys and drug users.
