jesimps Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I popped down to Jomtien today expecting my usual in/out 10 minute visit, only to be met with a huge queue in the car park with no filter for the 90-day people. I had to queue for 30 mins just to get into the building! They now only let in a clutch of people at a time. Once inside, I went to the checking desk for a number and on into the inner sanctum. It was still a shambles in there despite the queuing outside and all the seats were occupied. Thankfully my number was called after about ten minutes. I had to provide them with a copy of my passport and previous 90 day acceptance slip which I had with me due to the tip offs on here. Thanks. Next time I'll be trying the "Reporting by post" option, I'm getting too old to be standing around in car parks. edit: I arrived there at my usual time of about 10.30am.

Jingthing Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Don't tell anybody but show up at about 10 till 4 p.m. and it'll be crickets in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to add, I arrived at about 10.30 am, my usual "avoid the queue" time and of course it is Wednesday, usually the quietist day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes balls to arrive close to closing time but that's the sweet spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do that when I've never had to queue mid-morning. However, you may be correct in what you say for future visits. I'll still revert to the postal method first and see if I have any joy.

dodgybros Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Well I went 10AM Tuesday and there was a queue of about 30, by the time I got the photocopies sorted, I was still in and out in 15 minutes. When I left there were only 3 or 4 people waiting to get in. Luck of the draw I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orton Rd Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 All a complete waste of time for no real reason of course, did anyone ask when the website and app might be working again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
