uptheos Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 A lot of people seem to be in and out in 5 minutes during the afternoon. Of course it's usually the same people every time. Why not mail it in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Ee indoors went yesterday afternoon,she said there were 30 numbers ahead of her at 3.40 she was out at 4.20 longer than normal but individual processing times quite good. Her form was printed automatically by the guy that processed her report whereas the person standing next to her went through the normal hand written process.

It will take time for her to become a 5 minute in and outer, like her mentor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think I can't remember! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeichen Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Don't go too early. I went in at 10 and was out by 11:30. The best time for me was about 30-40 minutes. Go to information counter and get the que and then the sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siamod Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Been there on the 5th this month. Arrived at 1.40 p.m. Finished after 3 and a half hours later. More than 120 numbers to wait. Good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnx355 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 In the last 12 months, it usually took me about 15 to 20 minutes total time to do my 90 days report in the afternoon. But the last one on DEC 30 ( at about 1 pm ) took about 2h30 hours. about 70 people before me in the queue. The process was quick at the desk as they scanned my passport and printer the receipt. Did not even look at the photocopies. Only at the stamps in my passport. It was longer for some doing their first 90 days reports as they had to enter information in the computer. Also some people were doing report for more than one passport. Also the was only one officer signing the receipt and looking at the passport. The other one , possibly a clerk ,was doing the printing and computer check. They were relax and smiling ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beetlejuice Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Visiting Chiang Mai Immigration on any day at any time, on whatever kinds of business and how long it takes to get served has become a matter of pop luck. It`s like the famous Clint Eastwood line from the Dirty Harry movies; uh uhhh, first you have to ask yourself a question; do I feel lucky, well, do ya punk? The most irritating problem I find in there is with morons pushing in the queue. They discretely slide up to the front of a queue, pretending to be naive and oblivious and craftily handing their papers over the counter hoping no one will notice..9 times out of 10, especially if the moron is elderly, the officer will accept their paperwork without question leaving the rest of us peasants standing there like spare one`s at a wedding. I am sure that one day tempers are going to explode in there and all hell will break loose. For my next 90-day fiasco I intend to use the post option for the first time. Considering that many wise and learned Thai visa members have recommended this option, than surely it can`t go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the 90 day reporting procedure being nonsensical, to have to wait for 2-1/2 hours to comply with this requirement boggles the mind. Your report along with countless others, point out how dysfunctional CM immigration is regardless of who the ringleader of this circus is. I recently completed my yearly visa renewal at CM immigration. I had an appointment which required getting up in the middle of the night to make on their broken web site. It still required me to spend over three hours at the immigration office to complete the yearly renewal and multi-entry stamp. The CM immigration office should be an embarassment to the Thai government but compared to their police, they actually look professional. Thanks cnx355 for sharing your experience.

daveAustin Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Personally I think I can't remember! That's a bit of a George Bush oxymoron, innit? I always found it best to go after 3pm either side of the weekend (not Friday or Monday) and either side of any holidays. That is, if I didn't mail the thing. But, op, if you are the type that enjoys sitting around aimlessly and reading books amid myriad miserable, sweaty bodies, like a certain member here used to, then get there about 11:00.

No hassle whatsoever. But there are people who for various reasons of their own do need or prefer the service of others whilst available and are happy to pay for it. Yes some people do need a hand and I see nothing wrong with that. If people shouldn't be allowed to pay for a service 'that disadvantages others', then this is something that needs sorting out by immigration, (who currently don't seem to mind if it does disadvantage others), but this point seems to be constantly overlooked and I wouldn't hold my breath. The Visa agents could not operate to the great extent that they do (100% successful) if they were not working very closely with immigration in one form or another.

ramrod711 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I went to immigration for a 90 day yesterday, relaxed, not in a hurry, arrived between noon and 1:00 pm, parked and walked down to airport plaza for lunch. I ambled back to immigration at 1:15, got a number, noticed that there were 53 numbers ahead of me. I thought it might not be too bad, after all I had my kindle, but after 10 minutes the three stooges had not called a single number. I immediately walked across the road, drove to ATV, presented my passport and 1,000 baht, 5 minutes later I had a receipt in hand and a promise that it would be done today. The agency called today, I picked up my passport. Job done, no muss no fuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfokevin Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) I mailed mine in... No muss... No fuss... And have enough of my 1,000 baht note to treat me and my partner to ribs at Duke's... Edited January 31, 2015 by sfokevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
