bridge2bridge Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I have to apply for my retirement visa on Jan 2nd 2012, but this is a holiday, does anyone know how long BEFORE it is due can you apply, do not want to go TOO EARLY and have to go back again. Also is the new immigration at the government complex open yet. Many Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 (edited) In general, not waiting until the last days is always advisable. That way, there is time to correct any correctable problems with less stress. I think most offices (or even all) will have no problem with 30 days early and Jomtien is known to welcome 60 days early with no excuse needed. Some people are also under the erroneous impression that getting an extension early loses them time from their new annual permission to stay. But of course it does not, as no matter how early the extension is approved, the new one starts after the current permission ends.

Are you sure Chiang Watanna is open, on the thai immigration web site said it will open on the 13th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 It never closed - Suan Plu was opened as an additional location until this Friday. Only Chiang Watanna will be used from 13th onward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
