CM immigration lunch time

[holy cow cm]

Just curious if anything changed since I need to go and do a 90 day check-in today.

 

Does CM immigration do a skeleton crew now and not close for lunch? For some reason got it in my brain they had changed from the old practice of shutting the doors for the hour 12 -1pm.

Chiang Mai Immigration has changed their ways and continues to operate during lunch time.  Did my 90 day report last week at 12:30 pm.  Took about 15 minutes.  Brilliant. 

 

Nicely humming office with everyone working steadily, no playing with phones, getting up to get coffee and chat with each other, each station having a receipt book for fines, instead of just one for the entire office (which meant that if someone was fined for a late 90 day report or TM30 it brought the entire process to a halt for 20 minutes while the receipt book was found) or any of the other time wasting activity you used to see.  And everyone seemed happy, even the ones that used to look sullen all the time.

Thanks NancyL, Wanted to know the current low-down. I decided to wait until 3 pm but it was literally 5-7 minutes and out. No passport copies and no drag time. Literally an ok time.
