Arrive CW at 1007 to get queue number 198 with 102 still in queue.  Exit at 1133.  So they were processing about one per minute using four desks.

Did you try the new running track?

 

 

 

 

Nope.  Did update a bank book as normal - but spent most of time sitting and observing the eye candy (and not so much) in main waiting area outside 90 day report room.  

Tried 90-day online application - no success - so I'm about to pay a visit to Chaeng Wattana, or:

 

Can the 90-day report be done at Chamchuri Square? The Immigration Div 1 web site says it can, but 'Services are provided only to foreigners who have already submitted an application for temporary stay in the kingdom of thailand.'

I'm on a 'retirement extension' which I've always done at Chaeng Wattana as well as the 90-day reports.

Believe rules now are that you can only report at the office that issued you an extension of stay.  A decade ago it was possible to do there (also when it was located on Rachada and before that Phahonyothin Road) but that changed years ago from my understanding.

Yes, I did it at Imperial World on Lat Prao a few times some years ago but that's now only for Cambodia, Laos & Myanmar workers now. AFAIK Chamchuri doesn't do retirement extensions but the web site (I know how reliable it can be) does imply that it can be done there.

I wonder if Ubonjoe could give his trustworthy opinion?

You can only do your reports at Chaeng Wattana immigration.

The one stop center at Chamchuri Square is only for those working for BOI companies and few others.

I feared as much. Thank you Ubonjoe.

If you are not to late you could try doing it by mail. They state it must be mailed 15 days before the report date but as long as it gets there 7 days before the report date they will still process it but will put a note with receipt to do it earlier next time.

Thanks Joe but I'm already 7 days before the report date. I'll try mail if I can't get the online version to work next time.

I recently had to complete  my 90 day reporting in Chiang Mai. I took a chance and went to the office in the afternoon, arrived at 1:50 PM. there were still queues available and i was given number 118. I walked in to the building and sat down to wait as there were several people inside. I figured and hour or maybe two. Well as I sat down they called my number, I was agast!, never had that happened before. I had prepared all the forms correctly prior to arriving so I handed them to the officer and he had a very brief look at them before printing my confirmation and handing my passport back to me.

At the risk of being called

"PAUK WAN"  thank you Chiang Mai immigration for that experience.
