Hello Advice needed before going to Immigration Chaengwattana please !

I need to go to cancel our Visas (extensions of stay - Visa ED and guardian) before leaving Thailand.

We don't have an online appointment.

From personal experience, knowing that I desperately need to have it done as quickly as possible, and that I only have 2 options, would you say it's better to go there at 8:00 in the morning, or at 15:00 ?

Thank you very much in advance .

TLDR : Answer Summary
To cancel your ED and guardian visa extensions at Chaengwattana Immigration, it is highly recommended to arrive before opening time (8:00 AM) due to potentially long queues. Going at 3:00 PM may result in not being seen that day, as visa processing for ED is not done after lunch. It's advisable to visit early or even consider staying nearby if uncertain about the queue situation.

you could make a trip to Supan Buri or Ayutthaya, check into a hotel, make sure they register you TM30. Then visit Immigration that serves this area, and you'll probably don't spend any longer time than 30 minutes to one hour, to clear your business

Morning! ED visa stuff is not handled after lunch break. You need to get your number before lunch. The fears of others to be super early depends on season ... I was there mid of April, and no real queue "before the queue", no idea about current situation.

If in doubt book a hotel close and come the day before. 15:00 makes no sense at all. I guess you made a typo? 13:00 is end of lunch break.

You want to be there BEFORE they open. There is a queue to get into the queue that starts before they even open. 8 might even be too late and is definitely too late if you're going on a Monday.

If you go at 15:00 there's a chance they don't even see you that day because the queue is so long already.
