16 Minutes At Jomtien Immigration

[mahjongguy]

Just back from Immigration. In at 10:55am, out at 11:11am. That included strolling next door to get two additional passport pages copied.

- Don't trust the kid w/ the copier. He thinks he knows which pages to copy but he does not. Same guy messed me up last year.

- Per Jomtien policy, I have to go back tomorrow to pick up my passport, so I did not get the re-entry permit today.

I'm so happy to be living down here. Compared to Suan Phlu, Jomtien Immigration is a breeze. My compliments to them.

Suan Phlu only takes about 10 minutes once you get through the queue and you do not have to make a second trip so I would not consider it very hard.

My time of 16 minutes included the time in queue. My in-the-door/out-the-door experiences at Suan Phlu ranged from a minimum of two hours to a maximum of 4 hours.

I agree the queue time is outrageous in Bangkok; but at least you finish in one day.

Lopburi, I agree with your comment about only one visit, but a 4 hour drive, then a 3-4 hour queue time and another 4 hour drive back, all for 10 minutes makes it a very long day!!

Thank god I now go to Mae Sot!!!

in Jomtien they can even ask you 30k of tea just to do their job while in BKK no tea was asked at all....

Is that a personal experience, or a rumor?

No rumour, you have a living proof here.....however they have been left with a dry mouth

i never been asked for anything, by anyone at Jomtien and have always given a receipt for payments related to visa business without asking

i have been charged 200baht for same day service on a residence certificate but no receipt was given

i have found them very easy, very professional and quick to deal with

however as always, i am sure others will have other less favourable stories to impart...........
