Thailsacien Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Marriage extension ist office Nr 3 (see the board on the door). To be sure to finish tomorrow, you should go there around 5:00 and wait (bring a book and a lamp). They start to give the tickets at 8:30. The breakfast "service" opens around 7:00-7:30. You can tell your wife to come at 8:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few plastic chairs and stools around the area and you will see other people there who have most likely been there for several hours before 5am and they will tell you how many there are before you in the queue, which will consist of some people and some chairs/stools with books/paperwork on them representing someone already in the queue before you. Get your Wife out of bed and take her with you if you can from the start, she will be ok as soon as the food stalls open, which is fairly early. Best to bring a torch if you have one as it's pretty dark around there until dawn arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Just a thought. Perhaps if you had taken the time to go back 2 hours later as the agent asked perhaps it would all be resolved by now? It appears you had already planned to do it yesterday? Anyway, good luck today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 A post promoting a visa agent and a reply to it have been removed. A repeat of it will result in a formal warning for spamming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

's office ineptitude in dealing with basic administration, renewing extensions based on marriage. They have adequate facilities, nice office , generally polite and courteous staff yet management of this division of the Royal Thai Police Force is a disgrace and could benefit from a shake up, put mildly!

I didnt pay anything cause she didnt show up to the appointment.All went well,had a few problems cause of my landlord didnt make a TM30 paper.But all good and now have to wait approval till october.And i could have come at 7 am also,was no need to come so early,i was there 5am and was 4th in line and at 7am there where 3 more in line.Very freindly and painless,really no need to pay an overpriced agent.Easily done by yourself!

silverhawk_usa Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Probably too late for this to be of benefit, but I was there yesterday, 6 Sept, at 7AM for Retirement extension. #6 in the queue and only a few more were there at 8:30. I honestly can't say I paid particular attention to Marriage visa. None of the lines seemed to be very busy. 2 people for Re Entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to another guy that told me that fo a long time its already not necesarry to come at 5am.If my paperwork would been complete i would be out of immigratin by 930 and that for a first time marriage extension.The immigration officer was the nicest guy and all the problems that i read before were just non existing.

I used an agency last time because I had a few potential problems with compliance, and also because I didn't want to have to pay an extortionate amount to a taxi to get there early. I had a very satisfying experience, and don't regret paying them at all. Wouldn't pay for a 90 day though. No need to turn up early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices for an agent have been around the 5000 baht mark 1-2 year ago,thats fair,but for around 10k its a real waste of money in my opinion.If you wouldnt have to show up at all,ok,but you have a lot of running to do yourself anyway so i really dont see the point for me.
