Immigration Songkran Opening Times?

[steelerian]

Hi all,

Does anyone know where I can find any information regards closing/opening holiday dates for Samui Immigration over the Songkran holiday period?

I am due to get my extension stamp on Tuesday 16th April, which I believe is a public holiday in Thailand. So assuming they are closed on (Monday &) Tuesday, would I need to go on Friday 12th?

Thanks

I would say yes go on Friday, I think they'll be shut till Wednesday or even Thursday next week - this is Thailand!

Closed 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 April, open again on the 17th.

Was just going to pop a question up about this - thanks already!

BUT is this all govt offices? I need to renew my 5-year driving licence .

Anyone know if the DVL is open on Friday?

Thanks

5 day holiday, Must be nice.

I need to go for a 30 days extension on my tourist visa. Its due on the 16th, so I guess I will have to go on the 11th and lose 5 days. If I go on the 17th I will have to pay 1 day overstay, even with their holiday shutdown?

You don't lose days by going early, the extension starts from the end of your current permission to stay - not from the date you apply.

Yeah, can definitely confirm on that. No worries, just go a few days earlier.

Dont know about other Visas, but surely works for Tourist Visa

Erm . . . closed Friday, if the same as immigration!

(Nah - I'm a Pisces and thus not renowned for my promptness . . .)

I'll probably get around to doing that later . . .

It was busy down there this morning. But I handed my passport and form in at 845am and had it back at 1030am. Happy with that.

Thanks for all the help/advice guys, much appreciated.
