Popular Post Pattaya57 Posted October 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) As I witnessed mass confusion last week at Jomtien immigration I thought I'd add a process update. It now has the 3 buildings in place as follows: Building A (right side) - go directly there for 90 day reports and TM30 Buliding B (left side): initial desk for everything else (also a copier queue) Main Building (centre): only go there after all your forms are checked and have a ticket number from Building B They seemed to have eliminated the dreadful queues but for some reason the process seemed to take longer. In my case I went for 30 day extension of tourist Visa. I arrived at Building B at 10:40, got my ticket and told to come back to main building at 1pm. I was then first called, paid my 1900 and was told to wait for passport in Building B, which arrived 1:40pm. All in all 3 hours to get extension when it used to take 20-60 minutes in the past, however I may have been unlucky being first told to come back after lunch? Another development is that the "rogue" rule for having 800k in bank for 2 months prior to applying for a non-immigration O Visa (retirement) has now been clearly published on their guidance form (normally the 2 months deposit is only required for 12 month extension) Edited October 10, 2023 by Pattaya57 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya57 Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 A tip I forgot. The photocopy queue is right next to the initial check desk queue in building B. While I was waiting it was a little comical how many lined up in the photocopy queue by mistake ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB172111 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Good information ???? My experience was a positive one. I renewed my 12 month extension last month which took approx. 10 mins plus 3 mins to collect my passport the following day. The Centre section (Building B in your post) was not completed at the time. No doubt initial confusion will arise. I would give it a couple of months before most areas are streamlined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jimn Posted October 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2023 I havnt visited Jomtien immigration for at least 2 years as I have had an agent get my retirement extension and reentry permits, I do 90 day online. Yesterday Tuesday at 09.45, as I have a new passport I needed to transfer the stamps. What a breath of fresh air. A new building on the left with a large desk greeting you staffed by 4 people, giving you the correct queue number and any forms. There is also full air con to sit if required and a photocopying area. The building in the middle the main building is the same as before but not busy at all. I had desk 8 ticket 22, it was on 21 already. A quick check of the photocopies and given a ticket to come back today after 1pm. Easy. There is a 3rd building on the right for 90 day reports and TM30. Well done Jomtien a totally professional easy experience. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I understood it. I did a TM30 4 weeks ago and I went straight to building A. I don't do 90 day reports but all signs for 90 day reporting say go direct to building A 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not done a TM30 lately, but for 90 days you do not need a ticket, just go in through the first door, drop off your passport at the desk and come back a while later. I had breakfast on the other side and passport was ready by then. This week on Wednesday morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
