Popular Post SaggyRat Posted June 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2021 Two objectives … 1. 90 Day Report 2. Renew Retirement Extension Arrived just after lunch time. Queue was 3 lines long but moving (approx 50 people - didn't count them) Got 2 tickets at Reception to cover objectives above. My 90 day report number was only one number away from the current applicant....and... so was my Renewal number. The place was crowded??? BUT- the 90 day was processed and I moved straight across to complete the retirement renewal. Both objectives achieved, I spent longer queuing than in the office. 15 mins queue...4 mins for 90 Day and 6 mins for renewal. Well done and thank you to the staff! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Australia Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 This must be a new record especially the 6 minutes to Renew Retirement Extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I have heard that in Jomtien, you have to come back the day after to take your passport, so it doesn't count the real record is for immigrations who give back the passport the same day I think one hour is a good record in this case 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehs818 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I've had similarly enjoyable and quick visits to Jomtien Immigration also. I never go on a Monday or a Friday, and if you go in the morning for your Retirement Visa you can sometimes get it back that same day. But the key to having no long lines is to go in the early afternoon. After all the anxious people get there early morning because they were worried. This office is great! Not so for many others around the country though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chilly07 Posted June 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2021 I went to Jomtien yesterday just after lunch for a residency certificate. There was a long queue outside but mainly for Wuflu extensions. Got my photos and went straight inside and first at window 9. So far so good. "Where is your house book" Last time you did this you didn't want house book as my name is not on it and I had just done a 90 day? (DLT wouldn't honor the appointment my wife made) V irate wife left me sitting in front of window 9 whilst she went home for house book. Seeing me sitting there another officer reviewed my paperwork told me they have my address and gave me a queue nos and said get your wife to pay the 300bht when she comes back to collect the cert so I could go sit in the restaurant. Wife comes back even more irate to see me in restaurant. Go back inside and wife pays 300bht and we go back to restaurant. Officer runs after us and claims the house book copies. (To me passport and house book sound the same when Thais say it) After meal wife collects cert and fumes all the way home. "All happened because you lazy" And they didn't return 4 passport photos out of the 6 I gave them. They must like them! Today we went to driving school next to DLT to get licence but they forgot it was the Queens birthday so DLT was shut. Nice to have wife shouting at someone other than me. Will let you know how I get on tomorrow. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaneko86 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) I had a completely other experience but I went there for the covid extension and not a 90 days report. As I saw the 90 days reporters get prioritiezed and can skip the line when an officer comes and asks who wants to do the 90 days reports. For those who make the covid extension I recommend to go a few days if not a week in advance to be sure to even get the possibility to enter the office.

NoshowJones Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Yes, the place was crowded, but immigration and reports are much more important than the peoples health, does the self elected "PM" not know there is a Chinese virus on the loose? He just doesn't care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
