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.

Was at Central Festival immigration this morning at 1100 and pretty quite for all services with only half the chairs taken in the main hall. Give it a go you may be surprised but avoid Monday & Friday if possible and day after holidays. And yes you can do retirement extension there.

That's great. Will try Central Festival for a change. Thanks for the info. BTW. Where or which floor is the Immigration?

2nd floor. They are open 0900-1630/1700 but close 12-1300 for a feed.

Note if you intend attending before the shopping centre opens at 1100 you need to use the 2nd floor car park entrance.
