sunoco27 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 If I move to Sukhothai, where do I do my annual retirement visa renewal and my 90 day report? Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsterdammer Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 The Immigration office assigned to Sukhothai province is in Tak at the Mae Sot / Myawaddy border post. I have found the Immigration officials there to be friendly and efficient. I have never seen the place busy, and have never queued for more than 10 minutes for extensions etc. 90 day reports are usually turned around within 10 days. The only downside is the “white knuckle ride” through the mountains to get there. The road itself is much improved over recent years, but the standard of driving has not. Minivans leave from Sukhothai bus station taking about 1 hour 45 minutes to do the trip, but they drive like maniacs. Put an extra garland around your rear view mirror before you set off and trust in Lord Buddha to get you there and back in one piece. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning to move to Thung Saliam (from Germany) in the next couple of months and the thought of that run every 3 months is a bit daunting - especially as according to Google Maps it's 180 km by the shortest route with an estimated driving time of 3.5 hours. How on earth do the minivans manage it in half that time? What do you need to take to these quarterly reports and what is meant by "turned around within 10 days". Sorry for the ignorance, but I'm new to this lark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsterdammer Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Sukhothai does now have it's very own immigration office, therefore negating the need to undertake the perilous journey to Mae Sot. Staff are friendly and helpful, and will efficiently process you visa renewals Good luck with the move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
