mesquite Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) So *if* they move, will this new building somehow make them smart and efficient? Will it end the day long process of getting a visa extension? I understand extensions for retirement in Bangkok and other places are sometimes processed in as little as ten minutes. How, I wonder, do they do it? Edited July 3, 2015 by mesquite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How, I wonder, do they do it? They do it by having the proper manpower to do the job and the room to do it in. We will now have the room but will Bangkok supply the manpower. They have already OKed 15 more staff the catch being they are doing the hiring not Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I welcome the Bangkok-trained personnel to Chiang Mai where they can hopefully straighten things out. To set up CM Immigration so that it functions like Bangkok would be great.

My last extension for retirement took 10 mins to process. Then had to wait for photo (why?) & then more waiting for "the boss" to sign off, then more waiting for them to give passports back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNXBKKMAN Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 So where do "marriage" extensions go? I smell a rat... I guess they will be at the Prom too but if marriage extensions get left behind at the current airport office that suits me . It will be a quiet with everything else being being done at the Prom. I cant see them operating two offices though. I am due to visit in August and i have never been to Promenada. Fingers crossed queing up at 05:00 will be a thing of the past.

The problem is a shortage of manpower not the system. They OKed the additional staff and are refusing to let Chiang Mai hire them They say they will do the hiring. This has been going on for a year now. Not sure where they would put 15 more people at the present location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 All makes sense, it is what was posted before on here ref the MD of Promenada but dismissed out of hand by many. The 20th July is a Monday, that makes a weekend move which is practical. And in English, I guess the majority of those affected use it? Practical joke, I guess using the immigration logo would warrant a substantial jail term or reeducation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
