mlkik Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I have just got back from Immigration at Chaengwattana as I went there to hear from the horses mouth what I needed for a change of visa status tourist to Non Immigrant for retirement purposes. I live with my girlfriend in Udon and have been led to believe I could not change the visa there. I went to Chaengwattana and they told me I could only do the change if I lived in Bangkok and had rental proof. I told them I lived in Udon and they said then you must do it there.

Phuket Man Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Udon will not do it. Probably easier to go to Savanakhet for the Non Imm O Visa. Edited March 7, 2017 by Phuket Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Perhaps you talked to the wrong person that told you that. Perhaps ask again and ask to speak to a supervisor if you get the same answer. It has been immigration policy for many years that if your local office cannot do the change Bangkok is where you have to do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be easier and cheaper to rent a condo in Pattaya and change the visa there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
