Changmai Immigration

[stix40]

Guys

Any news of delays out of Changmai for issuing visa's out to local Io's ?

Thanks in advance.

[BritTim]

Please clarify what on earth you are talking about? Are you asking if anyone can comment on delays in processing applications for visas and extensions of stay forwarded to Immigration Division 5 headquarters at Mae Rim? If so, I doubt it. Personally, I have no idea how that office operates.

[stix40]

I am asking if anyone that has applied for a visa via their local io . Has not arrived or been approved on the date given by local io.

Local io is dealing with changmai Immigration and stating changmai has delays currently.

So is anyone experiencing the same?

 

Wind your neck in !

Jeez I know it's hot but chill Brit Tim

I think you need to chill. I didn't understand a word you said in your original post either. You understood what you meant but obviously a few of us didn't.

[Lite Beer]

Not a clue either ????

I have zero idea of what your OP is about.

 

Are you referring to issuing a non O VISA or perhaps issuing an annual extension.

Are you asking about delays in the under consideration period for extension based on marriage? 

 

[Peterw42]

OP, maybe mention the local office you are dealing with, and what visa/extension you are getting.

[Amplish]

The only thing that makes sense to me is, if 'local io' refers to an agent the OP is using. There are no local io's, that are based outside immigration offices. It would be useful, but I never heard of it in Thailand.

 

It would still be helpful to know what visa or extension the OP is talking about.

What exactly does that mean? Provide name and address of the local io then your question can be resolved.

[McTavish]

Persons who are unable to write succinct yet comprehensive questions often find themselves with long delays, even rejection by Immigration officers through incomplete written applications or rudeness.  Otherwise polite individuals normally experience excellent service, especially from CNX Immi.

Maybe if you would proof-read your original post and read it without knowing in advance what you are asking, you would be more tolerant of the confusion.

Some offices do have sub offices attached to them. Pattaya has a branch office at siricha, Phuket has one at patong.

Apologies for the succinct

nature of my original post , as I thought it was actually quite clear.

I have found the answer to my original question.

 

Before local io could stamp passport with visa ,

local immigration office was waiting on an update from changmai  Immigration office and inturn changmai Immigration office was waiting on permissions/update from Bangkok immigration.

Delays apparently caused by staff shortages at Bangkok IO due to COVID 

Thanks for all your replies most appreciated ????

You're yet to say what it is you are applying for. Extension based on marriage or retirement? some other sort of visa?? 

This isn't rocket science - all you have to do is explain your situation - I have X visa and I'm trying to get Y done at Z office.

You find it clear because you cannot or will not carefully proof read it... for instance... what is a "local lo"?  Says "lo" not "io"... so it's our fault that we don't understand what you meant... right???

I agree with Brit Tim.  I didn't understand what your original post was about either.  In fact, I still am confused about what you are asking.  Perhaps you need to write more clearly and maybe even give more information.  For example, what kind of service are you requesting at Chiang Mai Immigration?  If you are trying to extend your visa then what kind of visa do you currently have?  It would appear that you are the one who needs to 'chill'.

[sammieuk1]

Yes always a delay at CM IMO its what they are good at ????

[Madgee]

Well ........ I understood the Op perfectly well with what he is asking! Ignore the inquisition petal.

 

Just turn left at the first set of traffic lights, go over the hill and take the second left at 'Betty's Beauty Parlour'. Go a little further down the hill, Do a U-turn at the no entry sign and you'll see why there is a delay.
Easy to understand, I don't know what the fuss is all about. ????

Should be a comedian, you would fair well on a live stage !

Update ! 

Local IO has just called me to come and collect said visa as the Thai official who was responsible for signing off said visa has obviously returned to his duties.

Thanks again 

Stay lucky ????

Still none the wiser but it was entertaining.

You still have absolutely no idea what was happening. My first guess happened to be correct.

 

You applied for a visa or extension of permission to stay at an immigration office that falls under the supervision of Division 5. That visa or extension was taken "under consideration" with a report back date. As sometimes happens, especially where small offices are concerned, the process of sending the application to Division 5 headquarters (at Mae Rim in Chiang Mai), having the application approved, and having the paperwork returned to your local immigration office experienced delays. Nothing was sent to Bangkok, and none of this has anything to do with Covid or any other virus.
