When does immigration open? anyone has any idea? ima be like 8days late if it continues.

Have seen nothing official to indicate that there will be more holidays. Immigration should be open Thursday unless there is an official announcement of new holidays.

In the past have they charged people more overstay when they declare a new holyday day out of the blue?

[lopburi3]

You are not charged overstay if you report on the next workday after a holiday.

It's just been confirmed that 16th and 17th are extra Public Holidays.

Does that mean the immigration will be closed for these days??

[InterestedObserver]

Probably, but you'll only know for sure when you turn up and find the doors locked. Your right, not a good way to run a railroad!

[lopburi3]

Most likely.

Phuket Immigration has been reported as saying that all offices of Immigration will be open on the 16th and 17th.
