I've moved in a new place in Samutprakarn, got my work permit almost done, my visa expires at the end of June (NIB), hence I'll need to get a 1 year extension. But, where? Do I still need to go to Changwattana for that? I found out there is an immigration office nearby, that would be a much better option then the endless trip to Laksi. Also, can anyone tell how much the extension will cost?

Thanks in advance!

All extensions cost the same 1,900 baht TM.7 fee.

If living in Samut Prakarn Province you use that office for extension of stay.

Oh cool! The immigration office is a stone's throw away compared to Cheangwattana. Thanks a lot for your reply!

I used the Samut Prakarn office the first 2 years i was here but there always seemed to be a problem of some sort. My work ended up transferring me over to the 1 stop place at Chamchuri sq. Further to travel but absolutely no hassle. Samut Prakarn will also make you wait a month before issuing the extension.

Having said that your experience may be totally different as these places do seem a bit fickle. No problem with the work permit from the labour dept on Sinarkarin rd though.
