Good experience with Immigration Chiang Mai
Today we were back at the immigration in Chiang Mai for the 90 day report. Two months ago we were already in the new building for the annual extension.
We are still amazed at the great change that the move to the renovated building has brought about. So fast and efficient work is now being done. Truly incredible. And super friendly.
We arrived around 11 am, waiting 2 minutes for a number, my husband went to the toilet in the meantime and when he came back after a few minutes everything was already beeping. Not even 5 minutes in total. And yet it was really busy.
They were asked to fill in a satisfaction report. I also filled this in with great pleasure. We now just go to the migration office, instead of saying 'we have to go there again'. We were always treated correctly in the past, but it feels different now.
If something has changed positively, this can also be said.

nicole,
Indeed, if it is positive, it may also be said.
90 days notification is of course a piece of cake. I haven't been going myself in years, but I hire a moped taxi driver who drives me to Chaeng Wattana. Never a problem, and I can just go to work.
In Immigration Salanya (where my English colleague has to go himself) he puts his passport with the new form in a container. That is laid every 5 minutes and after a few minutes the passport is put back. He sees the officials but nobody talks to him. He'll be out in a few minutes.
What she mainly wants to say with this is that the services in CM have greatly improved compared to the past.
If you don't do something yourself, but let someone else do it for you, almost everything is a piece of cake.
Someone once told me that he paid 20 Baht to a visa office.
In the afternoon he received his passport back with his one-year extension.
“A piece of cake” he said 😉
I first went to Chiang Mai Immigration 7 years ago. Terrible, very long wait and then 4 times a year…
That's why I went to Mae Sai once a year, a long but very nice ride, finished quickly, only once a year because the 90 days by post…
Indeed, I hear that it is much better in Chiang Mai now….
Thanks to the satisfaction report?
I think they are evolved. What if the customers didn't have to fill out a satisfaction report?
I had already reported it at the beginning of this month after I was there for an extension of stay. My 90 days will be mid-March.
Had to renew retirement and multi-entry at the end of November. Arrived at 8.00am and was out again at 10.00am. That's how it should be, hats off to this service. I even found a parking space.
What I don't understand about the 90 day notice.
Just drop by the post office of your place of residence, and use the 90 days notification by post option.
Because it has been around for many, many years.
Jan Beute.
That's right, Jan, but many people do not trust the Thai post and therefore do not dare to send their passports by post. I have no problem with the post here, it works very well here (I live just next to the post office). Immigration also works fantastically well here and very correctly but yes, I can't compare Chumphon Immigration with places where a few thousand people have to rely on it because there are barely a handful here.
You don't have to send a passport.
Notification by registered mail
Photocopy of passport pages with following pages
– front page showing name / surname / Passport No., ect.
– current visa
– last entry stamp of immigration
– last extension of visa
Photocopy of departure card TM.6 click to view Example TM.6 card
Previous notifications of staying over 90 days (if any)
Completely filled in and signed notification form TM.47 (Don't forget to sign name.)
Envelope with 10 Baht stamp affixed and return address of foreigner for the officer in charge to send back the lower part of form TM. 47 after receiving the notification. This part must be kept for reference and for future notifications of staying over 90 days.

I always used it in Bangkok. Works fine indeed. Also for that TM30 report by the way.
But when everything goes so smoothly, and you don't live forever from your immigration office, going to the post office or immigration is basically the same thing.
Again something that will be different for everyone I think.
Hi Ronnie,
After reading your advice about the TM30 notification to do it in writing, I also did that in BKK. Goes well, back in a week.
Now there was a note that stated that in future a copy of passport / TM6 / visa and stamp on entry plus a copy of the rental contract must be included.
Do you know anything about this?
Thanks in advance
Dear Jan, How does it work, to make a notification for 90 days extension via the post office, please. I dread going to the immigration office in Lopbury every 3 months. I am always received very unfriendly there, that's why I'm looking for another solution, so that I don't have to go to that immigration office anymore. My wife even had to hand over 500 baht under the table or she wouldn't renew my Visa. "Thailand, land of smiles"? I think that's one big show! as long as you stay in the regions of tourism they all have a smile behind their ears!
In Thailand they only think in one way, THAT FALLANG HAS MONEY ENOUGH.!! PAY OR NOTHING!! When you ask something the answer is always, “MEDAY”!! Bring out 1 Baht and everything is possible.!! If people want to help someone of their own accord, I'm happy to give 100 baht and even more if necessary, but I hate being used as a cash cow.!!
Indeed, 90 days is an improvement. You have to make copies of your passport in advance, otherwise you have to go across the street.
Parking is also much better now.
The copies were returned to us. Was not necessary. Made a joke about it that they didn't want a nice copy of us.
You have to have a bit of luck. I was in Prommenada last time for 90 days and was given number 93. Went in. And it was immediately his turn. To the new location in December. Was there at 11.20 and was given number 134. And was surprised that they continued as usual during the lunch break. But despite that, I only arrived at 13.45:XNUMX PM
turn. This was on a Monday. So that's probably the bad day.
I do like janbeute, to the local post office for a new stamp, there can be 20 stamps on the old piece of paper that was stapled in my passport long ago by Immi in Udon, imagine 20 new staples in your expensive passport, must don't think about it!
However, the post office does not do 90 day notifications as far as I know.
The post office is only mentioned here because they send your registered mail to immigration.
Are you curious about those stamps?
Funny, but also annoying, are the differences per immigration. For example, at the office in the Blu port shopping center in Hua Hin, you no longer need anything. Passport and of course your old 90 day report. Less than a minute later you are already outside with your new 90 days. They already use the new system there. Hope that the new headquarters in Hua Hin, which opens next week, will also use that system. Then all paperwork would become superfluous, if it is done once.
The intention is indeed that in the long term every immigration office will be able to do this.
But if we're lucky, and Big Joke gets his way, the 90-day notifications will expire this year.
But that requires an immigration law change... and that's something different 😉
