Closest Ins Office To Chiayaphum?

[utapaortnab]

I have accessed the INS website that shows all the INS offices for

North East Thailand, (shown below).

Northeastern part of Thailand

Loei Province

Chiang Khan District

Tha Li District

Pak Chom District (under responsibility of Immigration Office of Chiang

Khan District)

Nong Khai Province

Muang Nong Khai District

Bung Kan District

Nakhon Phanom Province

Muang Nakhon Phanom District

Mukdahan Province

Muang Mukdahan District

Ubon Ratchathani Province

Sirinthorn District (under responsibility of Immigration Office of

Phibun Mangsahan District)

Na Tan District (under responsibilty of Immigration Office of Khemarat

District

I suppose since Lat and I will be living in Chiayaphum and using her

home there as our primary residence, that we will be required to "report"

to the "nearest" INS location to Chiayaphum in order to apply for my

RETIREMENT ENDORCEMENT for our AO visas. Or does anyone know for sure

that we can simply apply while we are visiting in Bangkok or Pattaya

Beach or other area or Thailand?

IF we must use the INS office closest to Chiayaphum, does ANYONE know

which office is closest to Chiayaphum? Neither Lat nor I are "familiar"

with the INS districts shown below.

And if the requirement is to report to the nearest INS office, I'm

assuming that we will be required to report there to file our address

requirement every 90 days there as well. I thought that someone had

mentioned that it is now possible to mail in a postcard with the present

address in to the Bangkok office every 90 days now but if that card is "lost

in the mail" (and who ever heard of mail being lost in the Thai Post

Office system...lol), what happens. Do you get a postcard back after

they receive your postcard that you can keep/file that assures that you

are current in satisfying your commitment?

I also heard that you can simply visit the Police station in your

locality and submit the current address info? Can someone give us an

absolute reading on this?

Does INS stamp your passport each 90 days with a stamp showing you have

satisfied the reporting process every quarter of a year?

Please let us know the correct info and if you are in Thailand now,

what/where/how you are complying with the requirement.
