localexpat Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Hello I am on a retirement visa and am moving from Phitsanulok where I obtained my visa to Chiang Rai. Could someone advise the address of the immigration office in Chiang Rai. Is the process of changing my address for visa purposes from Phitsanulok to Chaing Rai complicated? thanks in advance localexpat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 You can do change of address now using TM30. File a TM30 with CR immigration.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 There are 2 immigration offices Chiang Rai. The main office is in Mae Sai and there is one in the city of Chiang Rai. The one the city is not open everyday according to few post I have read. You should not need anything more than than a TM30 form completed by the owner of where you living. You may be asked for a copy of a rental agreement and signed copies of the owners house book and ID card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct in that the city office is not open weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuvoc Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 The Chiang Rai office only do some things on certain days - for example they only do retirement extensions on Mondays and Wednesdays I think it is. Someone else may confirm. No such restrictions in Mae Sai. I've been to both once and prefer the Chiang Rai one. Parking is much easier there if that is a consideration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The office in the city of Chiang Rai is open during normal office hours Monday-Friday. They only do extensions on Mondays and Wednesdays. The last 2 times I did my retirement extension there. It was very quick but you need to come back the next day to pick up you4 passport. The office is just south of the airport on the same road that runs parallel to the airport Edited February 5, 2022 by statman78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me a trip to Chiang Rai immigration is only a 10 minute drive so going back the next day is not a problem. I did my first extension at Mae Sai. They are also very efficient and it’s only 1 trip.
