What are the current hours and efficiency of immigration services at Chang Wattana for visa extensions?
It’s never happened and will never again. Arrived at Chang Wattana at 0830 for one year extension of stay and was out in 30 minutes.

I think everyone agrees: Go to CW/MTT on a Saturday if possible. I'm closing comments.

Thanks for the update. I'm not surprised they are stopping Saturday service in October, since they never announced it outside of Facebook.

@Benjamin *****
it's empty as a dream, just finished myself. It felt like my own personal immigration office it was so empty. They really should have advertised it better but they also look to have lower staffing too so don't want it to get too well known I suppose.

I think I heard 5 numbers called the entire time I was there. They didn't even have anyone at the desk right when you walk into the office because there was no needActivity
