Great Service At Sakon Nakhon Immigration

[rdtbm]

I needed to renew my retirement visa at Nakon Sakhon Immigration office.

I read the earlier post by Pianoman and took along my completed TM7 application, letter from the British Embassy to confirm pension income and copy of the relevant pages in my passport...the only thing I didn't have was a completed 90 reporting (the early one was canceled on the renewal date for my visa) I completed that there and then.

The whole process was completed, in and out in 25 minutes or so.

So a big well done and congratulations to the Immigration Officers at the Sakhon Nakhom immigration office for providing a hassle free and great service.

Nakon Panhom, Nakon Sakon, or Sakhon Nakhom???? I ask as you referenced all three of these mis-spelt places in your post.

I guess you are either referring to Sakon Nakhon, or Nakhon Phanom?

What a dummy...the heading should have read Sakon Nakhon....apologies, but the fact remains they did provide a brilliant service.

Title fixed.

Thanks Mario2008 for fixing the title.

As it happens, it was last year I had to renew at Nakhon Phanom and they were pretty quick and efficient as well.

What a difference a year makes.

Last March I had a very good experience, in fact the best trip for visa extension in 11 years. Completed form, copy of VISA pages, letter from embassy for income. Was approved in about 5 minutes.

Not so yesterday. New boss now wants copies of all pages in your bank book in addition, even though it is not an Immigration requirement. Staff is still very user friendly and apologetic for new boss demands but of course are helpless to do anything buy comply with requirement of the boss.

So this year it is back to the old way and make a second trip and hope that this time it is approved.

Good taste turned definately sour as green mango.
