SooKee Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Apologies if this has been posted before but I noticed an announcement on the Immigration Division 1 Facebook page that online appointment reservation is available again at CW. Just booked. Glad it's back as I far prefer this than just turning up and hoping for the best. https://www.immigration.go.th/en/#serviceonline 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did an extension with appointment CW some time ago and was such a breeze. Then the system was removed. Back up now and we are delighted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Not limited to CW, includes MTT, Chamchuri, Imperial, Big C, et al. Yes, awesome news. Please feel free to follow up with your experience after your appointment. I'm curious to hear if it is as efficient as the earlier, very short-lived CW appointment system, which was AWESOME. When I first looked when this was added, earlier this month, it looked like they offered a booking window of ~ + 30 days. So, in theory we could make an appointment up to 60 days prior to say, the last permission to stay date, which is good. They say "one hour" for ext stay/ret or spouse. Looks like six slots available for each, per day. 8:30 am 9:30 am 10:30 am 1:00 pm 2:00 pm 3:00 pm I forgot the link... https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=20131 Edited January 15, 2022 by mtls2005 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtls2005 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 With the previous system you just swanned in ~ 15 min ahead of your appointment, was it desk L1-32?, to check in. Waiting for some trip reports with the new appointment procedures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not seeing any evidence that your "appointment" was a benefit. In the olden days at CW for an ext stay/ret, an appointment was acknowledged - no waiting for a paper ticket, directed to a special desk, docs reviewed/new docs signed, then led to a waiting IO at or before your appointment time. All very efficient, while those without appointments, or those with spouses, languished in the seating area. Awesome trip report, although it seemed more about transportation to/from CW - which I'll admit will be helpful to some.

It depends upon what type of visa you entered on. If a tourist visa you would choose that at CW. If visa exempt you do the appointment at Muang Thong Thani.

Given that the time I spent in the Immigration section at CW was only 25 minutes, there wasn't much else to say! ???? Actually, there is one more point - I had a pre-filled TM7, from the inputtable pdf files usefully supplied by ubonjoe in the "Immigration Templates" thread. Both the girl who initially checked my documents and the IO seemed quietly impressed by this, so I'm not sure if many people do this.
