Can anyone confirm that Khon Kaen immigration are open 5/6/7th of February? 

Chinese New Year is not a public holiday.

The days are marked in green like "observations".

The next public holiday, Tuesday February 19 is marked in red, office closed.

There is button to open calendar in big size and there you see it more clearly.

I hope they maintain the calendar, would be a good idea.

Open on Valentines, bring flowers for the female officers

I went this morning the office was open and almost empty.
I tried to ask some information about the visa retirement  extension and the documents to be submitted but I did not get many explanations, they only provided me with 3 sheets for the request and nothing else .

May I ask what documents have you been asked to provide?

What method of financial proof will you use?

What nationality are you?

 

With the 800k being seasoned in the account no problems expected.

No indication that the retirement extension with 800k in the bank for 3 months (or 2 months from March 1) will be any problem.

 

You will experience how this don't touch for 3 months after extension and keep at least 400k over the year will be implemented.

Best ask at the office. Still seems somewhat unclear.

 

As you will use the 800k method you won't need a certificate of income from the embassy.

So nationality is no matter here.

To address some of the comments made re: KhonKaen Immigration move.

 

For reference:

• I have been on a retirement visa for many moons (my TM card is dated 1996).
• I use the Bt 800,000 in bank method
• My wife of 10 years does all my 90 day reports now
• I have lived in KK for the past 5 years
• My wife is gregarious, regularly "interacting" with virtually every officer in the immigration office

I had informed her concerning many of the comments made here and in other forums regarding changes in staff, rules and procedures in the KK office.

 

Upon her return from the new digs, she was puzzled about many of the comments I had relayed. Her take was the the only change is the location. Same staff, same procedures.

 

She recommends that I never ascend that apparently treacherous stairway as it's steep as hell and the steps are much smaller than my feet. The staff indicated someone would walk downstairs to take a photo of those folks who are physically challenged.

 

Apparently the plan is to remain at the bus station until the new building North of KK, near Bonthon/Nonthon (sp?) and "mount garbage" is finished. Work on the project has resumed and completion is estimated in 3 years.
