New office for Immigration

Post by norm »

Went into immigration today to do our 90 day report. While shooting the breeze they told us Immigration would be moving to the New building going up near the HH police station. They thought it would be 4 to 6 months before the building was ready for occupancy.

That sounds like a much more convenient place then some of the ones that had been previously mentioned.

If it happens, then I suppose it's central for everyone.
Would be good news.

My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Parking at the temple grounds for 20 baht would be fairly convenient

Was looking at the building only yesterday and on about 3/4 floors. Looks quite big.

Same site as where an old ramshackle govt building used to be before they knocked it down. Where we went to register our wedding.

Hopfully will have more space than current Immigration office.

Ground floor to be bars..............................Joking, then again TIT. :roll:

My wife read the Thai sign in front of that construction as I was guessing it would be a new police station or other government offices and if I recall correctly she said it was going to be something "for the people" like a museum or for sales or display of Thai arts and crafts or OTOP. Her translation was pretty vague but it seemed to rule out government offices.

She certainly didn't mention that it said anything about Immigration.

The HH Immigration chief told us of the future location several months ago. Believe part of the building will be used by the Testaban.

and in the spirit of making it user friendly just like the last two locations they are

1) making sure the sign is tiny, hidden behind a stack of bar and office signs, and points to the building next door;

2) Placing the office on the third floor, removing the stairs and installing a termite eaten rope ladder;

3) Making sure the front office for the public is in fact a 1m x 1m broom cupboard with only one broken chair with an air con unit set at -22 degrees celcius

and

4) Opening and closing at random points during the day while all the staff take a break at the same time and sit around eating som tam whilst grinning madly at the long cue of pissed off farangs waiting to get stamped.
