mtls2005 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Ah. That explains all the confusion. Your thread title says CW but you went to MTT. Took me a little while to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how exactly it is working now with new appointment system since their have not been enough reports about i. I recently had an early morning confirmed appointment at CW and in the confirmation copy I was told to go to Counter L1 -room 32, I showed my appointment confirmation letter to an official who was outside the Immigration room before it opened and he told me I did not need to go to the appointments desk inside but I could go direct to room L1-32 Nevertheless he gave me a queue number to enter the appointment desk section after it opened. Even though I arrived early morning there was over 70 people ahead of me in the queue, all of whom got access before me to enter the immigration section; I was not allowed to enter until my number was called. But when I entered the immigration area I went direct to room L1 -32 which is marked but not clearly "retirement online appointment". Needed to tell the official in that room I had an appoinment and I showed her my copy of the appointment confirmation. I was seen immediately and all went OK. For some reason I needed to wait about 1 hour to get my passport and bank book returned, I then got from downstairs a copy of my new 1 year visa then returned to get a ticket to the re-entry section; I was seen almost immediately and got my re-entry permit. I hope this helps. Edited January 26, 2022 by homeseeker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was offended. I came for the temples and beaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be a bit pushy to get seen at your appointed time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the non-o visa application on the site but you could use the one shown on the page for CW. Direct link for CW is here. https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/ImmigrationOfficeGovernmentComplexChaengWattanaRd@imm1division.onmicrosoft.com/bookings/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKexpat Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Thanks though if I have entered visa exempt and wish to apply for a new O retirement visa (not an extension) then am not sure which selection I should use for making an apt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could still use the appointment for the extension for retirement to get you to the section where the visa applications are done. Appointments are not mandatory. You can go to CW without one.

HKexpat Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Thank you for clarifying. Was also wondering if I should use the last option instead being visa issuing and changing type but the time slot is 30 mins instead of an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
