That's weird... how they can tell your application is complete or not if they don't tell you what paperwork you have to bring? ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿค”

P.S.: Never heard of any Immigration having no list...

Chiang Mai Immigration has a large scale listing on its notice board so that you can take a photo. Or they will give a one page print out. If they do not have a list, I do not see how they can tell if your application is complete.

Yep, a list is definitely a must... otherwise you'll definitely be lost in "looks already good, mister, but i need more copies of this and that"... ๐Ÿ˜
