December / New Year’s immigration office closures.

Please be aware that immigration offices around the country will be closed on these dates (other than usual weekend closures).

Thursday 5th December

Tuesday 10th December

Saturday 28th December until Wednesday 1st January.

Offices will re-open on Thursday 2nd January.

Many offices are busy following a closure day and will be super busy after a 5 day closure.

If you can avoid going on those days it’s probably best to do so.

Office closures do not affect airports, nor land or sea borders.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Immigration offices in Thailand will be closed on December 5th, December 10th, and from December 28th to January 1st. They will reopen on January 2nd. Expect increased waiting times after these closures, but airport and border operations will remain unaffected.

I’ve not been given any information about a special closure date for the 24th, but I wish you good luck and a premature birthday wish.
