Pattaya Immigration office now open on Saturday morning

PATTAYA: -- The Immigration Department’s Pattaya office is now open on Saturday mornings in addition to its existing Monday-Friday service.

Police Colonel Itthipol Itthisarnronnachai, superintendent of Pattaya Immigration Police, announces half-day service for Saturdays.

Superintendent of Pattaya Immigration Police, Police Colonel Ittipol Itthisarnronnachai, said that the additional opening hours were necessary to provide greater convenience for the large number of foreigners in the city who require their visas extended and other support services.

Pattaya is the first of 54 Immigration checkpoints to provide Saturday morning service. The hours are from 8 a.m. to 12 noon.

Pol Col Ittipol said that the Immigration Department has also added an internet service for hotels, who can now declare their foreign guests faster. Usually the hotels report to the Immigration office, but now they send the information via the internet.

Well, then I was there last Saturday, a few days ago, the door was in fact open. I went in, there was a woman there who told me that it is closed. I asked her, in Thai, if this is temporarly or permanent. She said that from now on it is Mon - Fri only.

I suppose they forgot to update their homepage.

Thanks for the info George.

Thanks for what? The info re: Saturdays is not valid anymore (this was posted by George two YEARS ago).
