Appointment Landed on a Public Holiday

[EdwardM]

Hello. I recently went to extend my Non-O stay based on marriage, and got the appointment to collect the final stamp tomorrow - Feb 12.

However, I realized just now tomorrow is a Thai public holiday. Is there a way to check if CW immigration will be open tomorrow? And in the case that it's not open, will I be penalized for going on the Feb 13 instead? Getting a bit worried...

My understanding is CW closed Feb 12.

No problem. Just go on 13

Okay, thank you DrJack. I will also try to call them tomorrow to see if they're really close.

They will be closed. 

In any event it's no big deal to return for final stamp a day late.

Officers are usually pretty good about those "under consideration" stamps and will space them out so they don't hit a holiday 😮
 

Never the less as people advised just show up at Chaengwattana tomorrow get a queue for section L-2 (the section that "closes out" under consideration stamps based on marriage to a thai) and they'll in the year extension into your passport without much problem

Personally I would show up after about 9am that way you let the "zombie horde" 😮 that waits in front of the door for them to open at 8:30 get in, get their queues and get to their sections.

Yes, I thought they were normally pretty good at avoiding public holidays, so I got a bit nervous there.

 

Thanks!
