Chalong circle Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 For whatever reason "Public Holiday" Immigration is closed today. The strange thing is I get a reminder yesterday by mail from immigration about my appointment this morning. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Better check the dates, today closed for Chakri day, next week for Songkran. I thought the appointment system had been cancelled? Last time I could make an appointment but when I showed they said 'no, we don't do that anymore'. Maybe similar for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you cannot get a booking on saturday and sunday. It should not be difficult not to open the bookings on holidays as well. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Just another bloody holiday to knock scheduled funds transfers from overseas into a cocked hat. Last week it was Easter bank holiday in the UK, this week it's Chakri Day here. Next week, it's sodding Songkran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagallim Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 About a week ago, made an appointment for 1 p.m. today for my annual Marriage extension. Chose that time as it allowed for the required visit to the bank for the necessary bank book update and letter, copies to be made etc. Email confirmation from Immigration at the time, and in fact a reminder email yesterday of the booking. So, duly arrived just before 1 p.m., had the paperwork checked by the volunteer (I'm pretty meticulous in making the required copies that are necessary, so confident this will be a short in and out. Wrong. Apparently there were a few couples who the previous day had not had the correct documents, and they came back again. My 1 p.m. appointment was a waste of time, as the people from yesterday were given priority, and my appointment was out of the metaphorical window. So, not acually seen until 3 p.m., documents checked (15 minutes, all correct), then a 30 minute wait for my passport to be returned with the usual 'Under Consideration' stamp. To cap it all, we are now halfway home in the car, with the traffic quite heavy, when my wife gets a phone call from Immigration asking us to return as they had forgotten to take a photo of us together in Immigration. Absolute crap service, and the last time that I will made an appointment. Ater 5 p.m. by the time we got home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
