How can I safely hire someone to queue for my retirement visa extension in Chiang Mai?

Chiang Mai was always a nightmare for me

@Mark *********

that’s why I like to go there. Always quick and easy.

new Saturday opening (morning) at Chiang Rai immigration. I walked in today, zero queue!

@Robert ******

another mistake, I meant non O based on marriage

BTW What is a Non A?

@Robert ******

thanks for the correction

You can only apply for this Extension of Stay at the Immigration of the area that serves the place where you live. You can not travel around and pick an more quiet office.

@Robert ***********

I do that on a non A, no problem. Maybe retirement is different. Apologies if I’m wrong

Different city, it won't work.

I got my extension last week. Arrived at 4:30 am and got number for the afternoon.

7 hours at Immigration???

Cathy there are queue only options for 500-1,000B, Google "Chiang Mai retirement visa queue service"

Any of you guys have a WP to do this job lol

Big call for it in Penang!

Copied from the Dark side and a post last night.

You need to use the 'Toilet trick' 😂

Do not need to rush, while there are a lot of people, nowhere near as bad as some make it out to be,

It does not open till 9 am and you will be waiting outside, then waiting inside.

The sign of 100 applications per day is still up and Jim also said the same,

As long as you do not go on Monday or first day after some holiday, then its not a problem,

You can cheat a little to jump the queue if you dare. Ask to go to the toilet, entrance to the toilet from the side, but once inside, you really do not need to return to the queue, can just walk over and join the queue to the window.

Number that they give you is NOT number to follow, you queue up, Number is to collect your passport.

Its really not a difficult process as long as you have all the required paperwork, there is even a guy outside with Toyota Avanza that does photocopy from the back of the car(no idea on the costs)

And if you do not have required paperwork, i do not think agents will be able to help anyway.

One tip i heard from others and Jim, if returning by bus , when you entering Thailand, to put 200 baht in your passport for Thai immigration if you do not have 20 000 baht cash to show.

@Cathy ********

we have a policy no paper pushing agent here, please keep looking, I also hope that a person in CM come forward. I looked also at FB group CM Digital nomads.

@Ron ******

Hmmmm, better than Poipet I guess...at least the food is tasty!

@Robert ***********

you can be the International rep. Penang is your first assignment 😆

Looks like I'm screwed out of a job :-(

@Robert ******

i can do the Jomtien line up?

This could be a winner for all of us 🙂

But he'll be Pang mak mak krap :-P !!

Hire Tod for BKK ;-) ?

@Robert ******

you need to consider different locations as well then....

I think there are agencies, google a bit.

@Robert ***********

New job possible, line standing. Just curious about the payments before opening a company.

That is a long commute Robert!
