Which Immigration Office for me (Korat or Kap Choeng)

[iammike]

Hi,

Will be moving soon to Buriram (Amphoe Krasang near Lam Duan to be precise).

Which Immigration Office is the one for me, for my 90 Day Reporting and getting a new Extension of Stay ?

I have heard that it is Kap Choeng but I rather have some member who is living in the same area to give me definite answer.

Thanks, Much appreciated

Yes, Kap Choeng (KCI) it is.  Have a coffee there, but be prepared to listen to GL.

5555 oke, will drop by when I am near.

Another related question to KCI. Do you know how old the Bank Letter (for renewing Extension of Stay) can be. (is 2 days old accepted ?)

I am still in Doubt where I will open my new Bank Account I'm in doubt between Surin or Buriram. I could open an Account at KTB in Krasang, but id rather have a BBL account.

Bank letter is to be no older than 3 days. If you have a Bangkok Bank account then you can get your letter in Kap Choeng as there is a BB on the 214 highway just past the KCI turn off. 100 baht for the letter.

Extension of stay has to be done at KC,,,,re-entry permit at KC OR the Airport......90 day report can be done at ANY Immigration office.

Thanks Urleft.

But I am still a couple of years away from retirement age.

I am at the moment on an extension of stay based on Married to a Thai National, but I can't wait to go the retirement route as the paperwork is a lot less (money seasoned is more (double to be exact), but the paperwork is less then half   plus the ret. extension is (almost) approved on the spot, while for marriage you have the 30 day "under consideration" period.

Don't worry, dealing with BE Members such as Nookie will age you fast.

For once I'll agree with you mate

How does KCI handle if you are a couple of days late with your 90 days report.

The reason why I am asking is, that officially you can report 14 days before and 7 days after the notification date, but I've read that some Immigration Office will start fining you even if you are 1 day late, and thus want to know how KCI handles this.

Thanks !

^^^^ Had a friend go there (KCI) last Tuesday.

His 90 day report day fell on the previous Saturday.

So 4 days late and no dramas at all.
