Kalasin Immigration is now open, you will find it at Kalasin Police station upstairs. It is a small office with from what I saw only two officers, both gentlemen. I found one of them Khun Jonathan to very abrupt and unnecessarily aggressive at first, however he did lighten up after a while. I was only in for Visa extension, which did seem to take an age to process, with the usual blame being put on the system. Anyway it’s open and certainly saves having to travel to Sakhon Nakhon........I also need to tell you, if you didn’t already know, your 24 hour residence report must be done at an Immigration office. I was told that it can be done at a police station, which I have done the last 2 times. Khun Jonathan tells me, this is not acceptable and must be done at an Immigration office.
Answer summary
The Kalasin Immigration office, located upstairs at the Kalasin Police station, is now operating with only two officers. One officer, Khun Jonathan, was initially perceived as abrupt and aggressive, but his demeanor improved over time. Visa extension processing was slow, attributed to the system's inefficiencies. Importantly, it was clarified that a 24-hour residence report must be submitted at an Immigration office, contradicting prior beliefs that it could be done at a police station.

I was in at lunch and no one in the office. So earphones on and listening to music patiently waiting. He came in with a kettle and a few other things, so no problem give him time to get himself sorted for the afternoon. He sat down and said “you need be ready for me, why are you not ready?” I said I am ready, I was just waiting for you to get settled. I ask him “what’s wrong?” And sorry I’m not ready for him. Just really odd!
