What time should I arrive at Chaengwattana for visa application to ensure I’m at the front of the queue?

@Ruth ******

you are confusing TWO very different queue number systems. :/

You get in the main doors at 6 am, you line up in front of the immigration office and at 7 am they bring out a machine that prints queue tickets that shows your place in line OUTSIDE the door. Then you can go do what you want and at 8 they line everyone back up again in the order of your queu ticket so you can get IN the immigration office at 8:30 and get another queue for the section you are needing to get your extension from

arrival at 5.40am, not much people. no traffic as well.

The section that does extensions of stays for teachers (Section N) is jammed with people from the second they open until LONG after they close at 4:30.

I know people who got there at 10AM and didn't leave until 6:30 that evening. :/

When I go out there with people I get there at 5:30, wait outside the main building at the south entrance near the immigration office and then go into the building at 6 with the agents line waiters.

If you get there at 7 or so you're gonna be a couple hundred people back in line. Now granted they all aren't going to be getting Non-B extensions based on teaching. BUT you're gonna get a pretty high queue number.

what 'visa' are you actually applying for out there
