Tourist extension smooth as silk 8 am 10 am finish

There is another thread with a young couple wishing to travel los for one or two Years. Have plenty of funds. Are ending employment to achieve this. Seems the metv not possible for these genuine tourists also. 2 of many.

you say last time you know you can do it in laos ? remember 55555+

Around 2pm. There's a desk outside the front of the office where you need to check-in with your documents when you arrive.

ok great i need to go there next tuesday

Was there today for a 30 days visa extension. Much improved over a few months ago. Whole process took about 1 hour, compared to 6 hours on the previous occasion. Seating was available indoors rather than outdoors, with a seating overflow area with (thai) TV.

Still lots of process improvements that could be made that would help to show better respect of foreigner's time but generally got a very positive impression of the staff - compassionate people with good humour doing their best to help the sometimes stressed and confused foreigners.

what time you arrived ?

Not sure they are being asked for nationwide yet.

3. Same everywhere but Phuket as far as I know.

4. I think they have an office for submitting them at CM.

need to give that for a 30 day extension >?

Went yesterday for 30 day extension of tourist visa (TM.7).

Arrived around 9 a.m., waited about 10 minutes in the queue, had all paperwork done from home.

But then I get a “sorry, your picture is too small”. Same size as I have used with previous applications (4x5cm).

My visa actually expired Sunday, I let the clerk know, and she tells me “no extra fee”, so at least that is good news.

I paid 200 baht to get a photo done next to immigration, this one was 4x6 cm and showed a little more of my shirt, but my head was actually smaller.

I gave the photo to the clerk (I had her accept my application w/o photo so I wouldn’t have to wait in line again).

She tells me I can wait inside, I ask if it’s OK to come back in a few hours and she says she’ll add me to the afternoon queue, so my application won’t be processed until after 1 p.m. which is fine by me, as then I can take a yoga class rather than sit on a chair and wait for my name to be called.

I came back 1:50 p.m. and ask if my name had been called. The answer was “yes, 3 times”. I am then told to sit while they process my application. Unsure why they hadn’t already processed it. Anyway, I wait about 5 minutes and then my name is called, and I got my passport back with new visa stamp.

Except for the new photo size requirements, experience was better than the old place, where I generally had to wait more than an hour to give them my paperwork, and then another hour for them to call my name.

And I did take the opportunity to get lunch at Promenade, buy groceries at Rimping, and also bought a pair of training trousers at some sporting gear shop.

thank you guys , i need to go there next week , so around 9 am it good , and you think you can finish before luch time ?

did they ask you for provide the rental paper from the owner where u stay or no ?

How to be safe so ? Never use atm from a street ? Go inside the mall for using ? 7 year in thai never happend to me maybe i m lucky

Just an update, today from Chiang Mai went over and back at Chiang Khong to Laos with a 30-day (G7) stamp without issue. Needed proof of flight out, however.

On the Thai side after exiting immigration their currency service was buying 39 THB for 1 USD. Not so good, but if you don't have USD is far better than paying THB 2100 for an equivalent USD 42 (for Canadians).

Appreciate your advice!

i think is case by case , when i go there , the officer they did not asking me for flight

mae sai is dead now , no visa no Out only i was there in 27 october , and i go to chiang khong and there they let me go out and in 30 days
