Immi open during Songkran?

Featured Replies

I think I saw on here somewhere that it WAS going to be open but I didn't pay that much attention as I thought I would go in before that time to get a 60 day extension. However, I keep reading the very slow moving reports that some clemency to visa holders in the lurch will be granted. Thus, I think to wait until next week as my visa expires on the 15th. But....that's all fine and good if Immi is open next week.

 

Thank you!

Yes songkran is cancelled and immigration will be open. But don't be trusting rumours and maybe. Get all your documents together and get it sorted. 60 day you mention so married don't forget to take your wife with you.

What leniency? You need attend imm prior to any overstay. 

Don't even get your post.

I don't want to go to a crowded immigration office in the middle of a pandemic.

Wait until you are my age (78) with a heart condition and have to be outside in a crowded group of people for more than 2 hours and 35*C

If you have a medical condition get a note from a quack and immigration will allow someone else to go  possibly your wife to get it

I knew Songkran was cancelled but that doesn't automatically mean immigration is open. If the gov. passes a ruling that gives automatic extensions  until things are back to some sort of normalcy, and this negates me having to go to immigration for now and risk getting sick, I would prefer to take that route. I don't see what is hard to understand about that. Indeed, I may have to go to immigration seeing that up to this point there is gov. talk about an auto extension but so far it is only talk and my time is running out.

The actual holidays for Songkran were canceled. Immigration, banks and etc will be open.

The BOT canceled them on their list of bank holidays for 2020.

Get an agent to do it 

Yeah maybe, I'm a DIY-folk, however.

Ah another question. I just took a pic of the wife and I in front of the house and showing the address. It is a selfie however and just shows the house number on the outside wall and our faces, not much more. Does the photo need to show a lot more than that, taken from farther away that shows more of the house in it? This is for the 60 day extension based on Type O marriage. Thank you.

You do not need photos for a 60 day extension.

Oh, I understood differently. But I was looking pretty good in the photo, damn. Great, thanks for the info. I won't waste any more time taking them or worrying about it. Cheers!

Only needed for 12 month extensions.

Passport and Wife needed for you unless Immigration actually do something about this chaos.

Or wait a couple of days and see if the PM accepts Immigrations proposal for automatic extensions for everybody with a visa/visa exempt and extensions. If it happens no need to visit any Immigration office.

PM has signed. Hot thread but when I last checked no English translation was available yet.

90 day report waived.

Yes, if you have time left, wait.

My entry expires April 15 so....I will gladly wait until Monday. I just don't want to be missing something and then have to scramble. Or too many people when I go and I get bumped to the next day. I read on here that Chiang Mai Immi is quite packed so I would be happy to not be a part of that.
