So is immigration closed?

Edited October 21, 201114 yr by redsox44

A quick question that hopefully someone can answer: I am traveling out of Thailand next week, and need to get a re-entry permit for my retirement visa before leaving. Chang Wattana has been closed for the last 3 days. Noone answers the phone, and my E-mails to them are as yet unanswered. Does anyone know for sure if this can now be done at the airport or if it can be done elsewhere? I still have a week before I leave.

E-mails will remain unanswered....that's something typical Thai.

AFAIK it is possible (since a year or so) to obtain a re-entry permit at Suvarnabuhmi Airport.

Chiang Watanna has not been closed any day this week. But we have a long weekend so will be closed at least the next three days. Yes there is a desk at airport that should be open 06-2400. You can also do at old immigration office Suan Plu on Saturday mornings and should use there email system to make application.

Is it possible to do the 90-day report at Suan Plu on Saturday morning?

I do not believe they accept 90 day reports except for the foreign nationals that they normally serve.

My friend was at Chaeng watttana this morning he reported no sightings of water anywhere, this was at around 10am

It seems the road to Immigration is still passable and the situation is not as bad as initially reported. I therefor close this topic. if the situation in that area deteriorates and immirgation will not be accesseble we will open op a new thread with a fresh warning.

Of course immigration is closed today as it is a holiday.
