Immigration Services In Chaeng Wattanna

[crocodile1]

Went to Immigration at Chaeng Wattanna this morning.

Taxi from Sukhumvit 200 baht plus 55 baht tollway.

Left at 7.30, arrived at 8.10, doors open at 8.30; out with re-entry permit business completed 8.40, queue of taxis waiting outside the door, home by 9.20.

Can't complain about that!

I had no problems there either. There's even a photo and copy place down in the basement for when you forget something. Think i was there for about 20 minutes for my visa extension.

Moved

I drove down from Saraburi, the new place is easy to find if you follow the directions given on the main thread.

Parking was no problem, for those of you who used room 509 & room 507 in Soi Suan Plu the office is now located on the third floor of the new building. Of course this only applies if your designated local office is not operating yet, as the Lopburi immigration office is not yet open for business I had the choice of Ayuthaya or Chaeng Wattanna.

This was my second 90day report in 14 years and having previously paid my fine all was well, the 90 day report only took 10 minutes and I was out again.

I had several of my Thai family relatives with me including my wife and children, They (the relatives) wanted to apply for Thai passports for a trip to Hong Kong. I drove up to the front building nearest the main road, parking was horrendous and the place was very busy. However they were processed in an hour, and promised delivery by mail of their new passports within 3 working days!

Traffic on Chaeng Wattanna road was bad but once clear of that, the trip was easy. departed Saraburi/Lopburi border at 0830 and home by 1430. Overall impression of the New Building was favourable, but what a huge area of wasted space!

I was there today for the annual visa extension. Fairly easy to get to along the tollway and going against the rush hour traffic so not too busy.

Cannot miss the building, but only recall 1 sign in English saying immigration, which may be a problem for some. I agree with Nibor1945 in that there is a massive amount of wasted space inside, but overall it is nice with lots of banks and food places in the basement.

Immigration was pretty quiet, but had to hang around a while due to my lawyers disorganisation. Still done in around an hour though.

The building itself houses many different government departments, which will be interesting when the shorts and Singha vest tourists turn up with their 'girlfriends' in tow.

Interesting. I guess this'd apply to us folks in Pathum Thani, too, as I don't think the PT Immigration office open as yet. At least have seen zip info on it, other than it being listed as the place to go.
