Local Immigration Office

[lovelg10]

I will be moving to the Nakhon Nayok area in a couple of months (Non-Immigrant 'O' Retirement/Thai wife) and was researching where I needed to go to applied for my one year extension. The listing that I found here in Thaivisa.com indicated thaqt my local office is in Aranyaprathet. Having done the Cambodia cheap clothes run on several previous occasions, I know that iy is a 3+ hour trip to get there. Can anyone in the Nakhon Nayok area confirm that this is indeed true - Bangkok is so much closer.

The immigration reporting areas/offices changed in Sep-09, and residents of Nakhon Nayok should now use the immigration office at Chachoengsao. Have a look at this link.

Chachoengsao. Another one I don't have on the map yet, but it's past the bewitching hour now where I live and it will have to wait for another day.

For a start, I will need the GPS coordinates or somebody pinpointing it on Google Maps for me.

Thanks - you made my day.

Thanks - you made my day.

I’ve got an address and phone number for the Chachoengsao immigration office, this time even a street name and house number:

I assume 1/20 means Soi 1, house number 20, but this needs to be verified.

lovelg10, I suggest you print out the map and once you find the office, mark its exact location on the map. Then when you’re back home, look it up on Google Maps or Google Earth and post the coordinates here for me. Thank you.

1/20 in Thailand means land plot number one, sub plot number 20. Land is numbered - not the houses. Next door could be 120/2 or 16/227. Only in planned communities is there any order to the numbers. Main roads are almost always a mishmash.

Sounds like a lot of fun.

Things are changing - at least here in Bangkok. Yesterday we got new house number from District Office. We now have xx of village soi x, of soi xx, of road xx, in District xx, of Bangkok.

instead of the previous x/xx mooban, soi xx, district xx, Bangkok.

Net result will be numbers in order on streets and sois.

Thank you for this information, not so many people speak about Chachoengsao Immigration Office

I shall live soon in this area ( ampoe Sanam Chai Khet ) as a retired, and ask in the future for an

extension O-A visa

can you tell me which documents they ask in Chachoengsao, because I have read in other forums that it's not

always the same thing,(especially proof of income ), it's depend of the immigration officer

ps: excuse me if my english is not perfect, i am French ( frog, as you say )

[lopburi3]

Income will always be 65k per month on letter from your embassy or 800k in bank account 3 months or a combination to meet that 800k figure per year.

The only variance might be an office wanting to see some kind of bank account to prove you can pay local expenses.

Other that that a TM.7 with 4x6cm photo, 1,900 baht, proof of address and passport/arrival card copies should be all that is required. They might ask you to draw a map to home.

Hope this helps.

[Aforek]

Hope this helps.

it helps me very much, thank you , lopburi 3 too, I feel less alone now, because Chachoengsao is not very "farang"; the link you gave is very useful

last question: I shall come with my new O-A visa from Paris, but first of all I want to go three weeks somewhere else in Thailand;

does it matter if I go and register to the immigration office after three weeks ? I don't need to go immediatly ?

thank you again for your help

[Maestro]

If your visa is indeed an O/A visa, ie if it says on the visa in your passport that it is "category O/A", you will, on your arrival in Thailand, receive permission to stay for one year and your local immigration office will accept your application for extension of stay for retirement during the last 30 days of your permission to stay. Please look at your passport and confirm if this is the visa you have.

[Mario2008]

But don't forget that you will have to report your stay to immigration every 90 days.

[Aforek]

... Please look at your passport and confirm if this is the visa you have.

I have now my visa and it's written " non immigrant O-A number of entries M "

I arrive in BKK on december 29 th, how many days can i spend without register to the Chachoengsao immigration office for the first time ?

what I intend to do is stay in Thailand until 28 th december 2011 ( one year, first entry ), stay abroad a few days and come back to Thailand ( second entry for one year ) , is it possible?

They are some other people who say they did like this. Thank you

it means that I can stay 2 years - one day ( minus one day ).

[lopburi3]

You must have a valid visa to enter Thailand and by Dec 28th 2011 your visa will not be valid. You have to make your last entry before it expires. That is the date written on the visa (the day it was issued). After being here 90 days you must report to an immigration office and fill out at TM.47 address form and do that every 90 days if you do not leave Thailand.

[Lite Beer]

You will get 12 months on each entry until your Visa expires.

Enter a day or two before expiry date and get another 12 months making a total of almost 2 years. Depending on when the Visa was issued.

After 90 days of continually staying in Thailand you have to report to Immigration.

[Aforek]

Ok, I was not precise enought, sorry

it's written "date of issue : 30 nov 2010 "," enter before 29 nov 2011"

its means that if I go out , for instance to Laos or Malaysia , on 15 nov 2011, and come back on 28 nov 2011, I have one more year?

now that I shall live in Thailand, I shall read thai visa more than before, it's good for my english, even if sometimes ( more than sometimes ) I don't understand everything.

[Lite Beer]

Yes. Enter before 29th November to get 12 months.
