It closes at 16:30.

 

When I'm doing either a 90 day report or an extension I generally arrive at 15:30 and I'm in and out of there in 10-15 minutes.

 

I've been doing my yearly extensions in June when it's very quiet and the only time I go anywhere near the place in high season is in December for a 90 day report which has a different queue to the 'extension crowd' - pretty efficient really.

Was there Wednesday (twice - forgot a document in the morning). Hours are as above - 8.30 to 4.30 with lunch 12 to 1.

 

90 day reporting has been moved to a demob at the back of car park. Not a real worry as I do mine online and at any rate have only had to do one this year.

 

First time in was quick, second time took a lot longer as person in front of me took 40 minutes to do what should be a 5 minute job. And that included a 10 minute saunter by his Gf/Wife to get sme photo copying done.

 

But all in all no issues (other than the one I created) and well done to HH Immigration.

Well this is completely disgusting behaviour by the Hua Hin immigration office assuming everything you say is accurate. If this ever happened to me I would simply not allow it and if they told me to sit down things would not go well.

 

Remember, these government servants are like machines who stamp passports - they have virtually zero say in what goes on - they have to follow the law to the letter and you can call them out if they do something wrong.

 

Personally I would film them and report them to a higher authority.

 

I guess that's easy for me to say when I have a 5 year visa.

Went yesterday, got there 1:15.  I was extending my 90 day O visa to 12 months and getting a multiple reentry permit.  It seemed only one guy doing this, our number sequence was 400's, but most were 200's.  All officers but him were dealing with 200's.  This officer we have had before, decent english and very helpful, but he was taking a long time with #404 (we were 414 which seemed funny because not many people there).  He finally finished and they called the next number.  Between 405, and us, there was only one taker who finished quickly.  We came up and finished in about 20 minutes so about an hour all told.

I think you will find they have a lot of say in what goes on, they have the power to refuse to stamp anyone and if you think they have to follow the law to the letter I do have to wonder if you actually live in Thailand, they can make things very difficult if they want

 

There was a story not so long ago of a Brit using the F word to a I/O at Pattaya Immigration, he was deported 2 days later

 

It can be frustrating dealing with Immigration sometimes but remember they have a lot more power than you do and can ruin your life if they wish to do so

 

The staff at HH Immigration are not over friendly but do a efficient job IMO, I have never had any issues in the times I have visited
