FolkGuitar Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 We went to Immigration today to get re-entry visas. Got there at 9:15, home by 10:30 I can live with that kind of service. Very quick today. And speaking of service, we were handed "Customer Service Satisfaction Surveys" to fill out and hand in. 1. Was the area neat and tidy? 2. Was the Officer polite and courteous? 3. Was the service convenient and quick? And one last one; Did the Officer ask for a bribe or any personal favor? My hat is off to these folks... Taking no chances, we had to fill out and HAND IN these forms BEFORE we had submitted our paperwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formaleins Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Don't you just love the way these rancid creatures operate? Rotten to the core every last one of them. Not an ounce of shame or morality between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMBob Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Filled out the same form yesterday referred to by FolkGuitar above. My paperwork was already submitted but hadn't been processed yet when I was given the form to complete. I gave them decent marks (while wondering how the completion of my paperwork would have gone had I given poor marks or added in the comment section that I thought the survey was a bit imbecilic).

FolkGuitar Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 We were told by the people sitting next to us that the fellow manning the Re-Entry desk was taking between 20-30 minutes per applicant. Just as our number came up, he stood up and walked out the back door towards the toilets. Fifteen minutes later, the woman who appeared to be running the show sat down at the desk and called my number. My wife an I sat down together, at which point we were instructed to fill out the survey and hand them in. We did so, and then the woman took both our passports and documents, quickly went through both stacks, stamped everything for both of us, and we left the desk 10 minutes later. Ten minutes to process two of us, where as the other fellow was taking 20-30 minutes for one. We thanked the Gods for his weak kidneys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renaissanc Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) In case you don't know and it's relevant to your situation, the Re-entry Visa section at Suvarnabhumi Airport is open 24/7 (incl. Saturdays and Sundays). It's on the far right-hand side of the Immigration queues when you go down the escalator to the Immigration area after Security. It takes 5-10 minutes only.

connda Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 One of the happiest days in my time living here in Northern Thailand was when they opened a full service Immigration Office 30 km from my home in Lamphun and I no longer have to deal with CM Immigration. Last 90 day report? In and out in less than 5 minutes. Hallelujah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just bob Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 My last two 90 day reports at Promanada I was in and out in fifteen minutes. And the agents were all very friendly and polite. I'm about to do an annual visa run for my one year O-A and I'm thinking I should have just re-applied for a extension rather than braving the airport immigration lines!

What nonsense is that? Seems to be working well nowadays with "retirement" extensions being completed quickly and efficiently and with mail and online options for 90 days it is becoming only necessary to visit immigration for an hour or two a year, hardly a problem?
