brewsterbudgen Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Immigration didn't close last time, so I doubt it will this time. Workplaces, offices are not shutdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 They won't close. They will continue enforcing social distancing and limiting the number of people allowed inside at a time (and the usual temperature check). Bring a mask as I don't think there are any available to buy in/around there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photocopying place on Thepprasit 0.5 baht a copy, I get most of my copies before I go. I even got a couple of laminate copies for 10 baht each, outside immigration wanted 100 baht 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but that does neither enforce hard travel restrictions (so far) nor office closures. Only function shutdown (nationwide) that I am aware of is that driving license tests at the DLT (road traffic office) are suspended (once again).

As promised i am just back from immigration office in Jomtien they are open, and no crowd, particularly for a monday after new eve holiday. When you are face to the building, the entrance is on the small left door you access to it by the ramp for the disabled, near the private visa office shop the main entrance door of the immigration building is reserved for the exit On the right a tent with some chairs and a guy at a table only for the 90 days report, you give your passport to him, he gives you a number you wait on a chair, few minutes later (10\15) your number is called, and you have your passport back with the 90 days report updated inside. All the other stuff is done inside the building as usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to update your bank book the day you go to the immigration office they ask a copy of the first page of the bookbank (With your name and account number) and the page with the money update. Also a copy of the first page of your passport and a copy of your actual visa or extension in the passport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there are queues of Thais at immigration needing photo copies. Nobody is forced to pay a 100 baht or use that particular photo copy service. It is a great service and well worth the money for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko45k was talking about a face mask, not a copy as i said it's 3bahts a copy in the immigration office, and it's the same price for Thais and foreigners. No face masks vendors in the office or even in the area everybody seems to come here with his own mask already on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the last I heard masks are required everywhere now, even outside, so of course people will be arriving masked.

Yes of course you can find face masks almost everywhere in Pattaya including in the 7\11. With my post about no face masks vendors in the office or in the area my meaning was there are not inside the immigration building, on the parking nor in the street just in front of the building. Sorry for the misunderstanding as english isn't my first language i will try to be more precise the next time Edited January 4, 2021 by kingofthemountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mls Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Is it possible for someone else to do your yearly extension for you. I am sick (not covid) so don't go out unless I really have to. Being somewhere where there could be covid worries me. Be grateful for any information. Thanks. Mls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mls I believe you do have to go in person because they take a photo of you. Best to get someone to go and ask and explain why you can't go. Maybe if they take a photo of you with them that will suffice, I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody is advertising on 103 FM that they will do your extension for 8,000 Baht, and that includes the 90-day reporting as well. I can't remember the name of the agent, but tune in and the advert will probably be on there once an hour at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No photo taken for the 1 year extension of stay based on retirment you need to bring your own photo. They take a photo only if you don't have one or if the photo is too old. However you need to sign the documents in person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Actually, they've taken my photo every time I've done an Extension. Normally they take it when you go back to pick up your passport. Last year it changed a little. After I submitted my paperwork the guy put the numbered tag on my paper work and gave me the matching tag, then took a picture of me and a picture of the paperwork. When I went back the next day they didn't take my photo again when I picked up my passport. Of course, that can all change overnight. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
