hkt83100 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 But it has been developed into a undesirable place in many aspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 open, but for anyone on a long term visa/extension, best avoid and use Phuket town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? I have not been there since they reopened. I have my 90 day coming up though I will try to do it online but I have never been successful with that, yet. I need a re-entry permit also. Patong is closer for me. Riding to Phuket Town is something I dread anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 90 day report and re-entry permit should be done in Phuket Town. The aggravation of doing it in Patong far outweighs the dread of riding to Phuket Town (what about the bus?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patong can only make 30 day extensions on 60 day Tourist Visa and 30 day stamp on arrival. Edited October 10, 2017 by LivinginKata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visaruna Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 thanks for all the replies yes...its open n operating its not as friendly or streamlined as before. a new boss i was told. a lot of people being told to go n get more info or do things differently. my photo was rejected because the background colour wasnt white. a first for me. the copy n photo guy is just outside tho. 20 baht per page 200 baht for 6 photos hes not good with the camera...i saw a top of head cut off n my pics were half body. doubt i could use them elsewhere. the immo officer was going to reject them but as they were fresh from his guy he accepted. still...the wait for extensions was short n the whole thing done in 30mins including photos.

Coconut Kidd Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) ^^Yeah, the last time I was there is was FUBAR, but it still beats driving to Phuket Town. I'll just bang my head against the wall several hundred times before I go and then it won't seem so bad.

Coconut Kidd Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Much better than the last time. In/out in 27 minutes compared to 75 minutes 90 days ago. Mbike parking was jammed so had to go around again and park near Banana Walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
