Visa extension for retirement purpose in Chong Sa Ngam

[crazygreg44]

I am in Thailand on a Non Imm OA visa for 6 years and have done my extensions - for retirement purpose - here at Chong Sa Ngam , using the 800,000 THB in the bank method since. I visited Chong Sa Ngam Immigration today and was told they cannot issue any more extensions through their immigration office. All requests will have to be made at the Sisaket immigration from now on. Reason, Sisaket is directly responsbile to Bangkok where in the future all computer data will be kept. Chong Sa Ngam as a subdivision is now considered a no go.

Maybe this is of interest for somebody here on Thai Visa, so I'd make sure to have posted this

Took them long enough on that one but not surprising. Can you still do your 90 day report Chong Sa Ngam Immigration ?

Also known as Phu Sing immigration immigration office.

I think there may of been a report about it being closed before.

Actually they are responsible to immigration division 4 in Korat.

For the past three years its been fully open and a full service immigration office but with the opening of a new office in Si SaKet Town a couple years back this office due to lack of slow development at the crossing has become redundant. As of about two months back it was still a full service office but with tightening up of visa regulations it was only time. The photo were taken this past year.
