queue ticket

[JAN]

Attempting to do my retirement extension and get a queue ticket; Seems to be more or less impossible. Is the system not working, or somehow all queue tickets are booked? Can one do extension at Central Festival as well? Or, can I go to Lamphun, many tickets available there?

I've looked several times over the years and never once seen even a single queue slot available. People here have said you need to get online like 1 second after midnight to book a spot in the queue for a specific day, there is some math involved to sort out which day will be freed up next. I don't really see the point of the queue system anyway. Just do what the other 99.9% of us does, head down to immigration in the morning, file your papers, wait, and assuming you have everything they need, you'll be outta there in a few hours.

There just are not enough appointments available and, as stated, they are all taken within hours of the beginning (midnight) of the 90th day before.  

A friend received an appointment time for December 5th this past year and showed up to find the office was closed due to a schduled holiday (Constitution Day).  I mention this only to suggest you should pre-check known immigration office holidays before snagging an available appointment.
