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

not happy ? go back your country

Did he have a work permit?

Nah he was on a student visa working for cash

in france you can work with student visa part time job

The French police killed 7 and are now looking for the 8th terrorist.

The Thai police would have killed none and now be looking to fit up a number of people.

The French government have said and done all the right things.

The Thai government would have told the world not to worry and tourist numbers were up.

Can one ask why the Thai government are keeping an eye on Paris because they will take no notice of what they are doing as it 'isn't the Thai way'

Um, not quite. They blew themselves up, not killed by the French police.

by the way they wil die by the french police , one of the best in the world

go to chiang khong i was at mae sai and no visa no Out , only there in chiang khong go and back in a hour and finish

Arrived a little later than I wanted... about 1330 hours . That being said, I think arriving a little earlier would be good. But then again, I did not see many staff members handling renewal apps.

ok thank you i will go around 10 am i think me

very good general , no work permit get out only

Did my tourist renewal at this location yesterday. After turning in my tm7 at the outside check-in desk, I went inside and waited about 2.5 hours for my name to be called. Overall, not so bad.

what time did you go ? my last tourist extension i make it was at the old place i arrived at 10h30 11am finish

Hug a Muslim today.

Yeah....and keep hugging til they stop breathing!

i like that

If NATO had stayed out of Syria this wouldn't have happened and we wouldn't have had hundreds of thousands of Syrians fleeing to Europe. Thanks a lot NATO.

Not only Syria....the madness started back when NATO trained Islamists to fight Soviets in Afghanistan.......Removing Saddam, Gaddafi and supporting Saudi Arabia are just some more stupid ideas.

everything is because of Bush Cheney only that

I have been saying for long time that the muslim invasion of Europe is a bad thing. This is only the start I hope all the left wing liberals are happy with the legacy they are leaving our children and grand children.

what a pity that nobody listens to you

do you know ? for tourist extension i can go after the luch for aply , or need to be there at 6 am ?

Does this all mean that I cannot do a same day in and out at Poipet for my 2nd entry? (I have a double entry tourist visa).

If not, then how long must I stay in the other country before being allowed to come back in?

I am in a panick here. My stamp says I must leave by Nov 11 and I have to do my 2nd entry by Nov 12. Not sure what I should do here, but I need to figure it out fast.

You will have not problem doing an out/in crossing at Poi Pet now. Everything has been back to normal for some time now.

Good to hear that (Y) I hope Mae Sai is ok as well... I have to make my second entry today

if you have a valid visa at mae sai no problem;

maybe i will go for christmass in europe and i just need 30 day , do we need to go at 5 am for tourist extension ? and what paper , tm7 photo , stamp and contract rental ? only right
