immigration office near Chumphon to extend tourist visa

[Jon2011]

Good morning all,

is there an immigration office in Chumphon or do I have to go to Ranong , if I need to extend a tourist visa?

And which address would be the correct one for Ranong?

What kind of documents will I have to show?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Jon

Ranong immigration is where you will need to go.

You can use any address in Chumphon.

You will need a completed TM7 form with an attached 4cm X 6cm photo. Download and print two sided. http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/download/pdf/tm7.pdf

Copies of your passport photo page, visa, entry/permitted to stay stamp and TM6 departure card. The fee will be 1900 baht.

Thank you for your quick answer.

Is the immigration office in Ranong the same for the visa runs and for the visa extensions?

And is the adress below the correct one, it seems to be near to the port:

I got the link somewhere from the forum here.

The location on the map should be the correct one.

It is not the same office as the one used for departure and entry to the country.

UJoe, an office opened ~ 2 years ago near the intersection of Highway 4 and road 327 ie, about 10km from the centre of town. Has this closed down?

Just in case people coming throught the GH here need the info. Cheers, AA

Are you writing there is is one Chumphon?

I did a bit of looking and found no info on there being one.

I have been outside Chumphon for ~ 2 years, Ranong Immi used to provide a mobile service at the Tesco building in Chumphon on Tuesdays.

Here's a thread http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/648080-visas-in-chumphon/

Off-topic, the DanSingKon office (Prachuap province) no longer doing annual extensions, we have to go to HuaHin.

I read mention of the mobile service in a pinned topic but it said it was only for 90 day reports.

A friend just messaged me that ThungWuaLaen 'locals' are doing 'reports and extensions' (90 day reports, annual extensions) at the office on Highway 4, not certain about other extensions

I have heard the same, however a pal told me they are a horrible bunch, so maybe Ranong would be a better option anyway...

If there is one in Chumphon it would bee good if somebody would post the address. location and the GPS coordinates for it. That way we could update the map showing the immigration offices.

Tthe immigration websites do not have it listed. Same for a file with immigration contact info posted on the 90 day reporting webpage.

The immigration office in Chumphon has now been moved to Chumphon bus station on Highway 41. There is a very nice lady who works in there who speaks good English and every time I've been in there all the staff have been very nice.

The one question I do have though is does anybody know if it's open on Saturday?

[ubonjoe]

Immigration offices are not open on weekends.
