Question about online appointment for changing the visa. 

I got an online appointment to submit my documents tomorrow at 1130. But from what I have read in some groups and google reviews, people said it's their breaktime and staffs don't work during that period. And I saw some reviews saying to get to the Division 1 around 0700 in the morning. Am I safe with my online appointment and can go to the office just before 1130 (the given time) or do I still have to get there at 0700 in the morning for a long queue? This is going to be my first time doing visa stuffs in Thailand. I will be so grateful for your tips and suggestions. Thank you so much :))

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on whether arriving at the immigration office in Thailand at their online appointment time of 1130 is sufficient or if they should arrive much earlier, given concerns about break times and potential queues. A comment suggests arriving 15 minutes before the appointment and showing the confirmation email to avoid queuing, noting the office closure for lunch from 12:00 to 13:00.

Tod *********

IF you have an appointment you need to show up about 15 minutes before and SHOW the print out of the confirmation email you got to the immigration officers so you don't have to queue up.

You are correct they close from 12:00 to 13:00 for lunch, so while you might get your documents turned in IF you are waiting for an extension, etc, you might have to wait over the lunch closure.

I would just show up around 11 and show your appointment confirmation, I sure wouldn't go there at 7 if you have an appointment booked for 11 😮

Good Luck
