I'm heading to Chaengwattana Immigration on Friday to extend my 1-year retirement visa. Just wondering if anyone who's done this recently can comment on whether arriving at 04:00, 04:30 or 5:00 am makes a quantitative difference in the rapidity of the overall procedure. Thanks.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among recent visitors to Chaengwattana Immigration for retirement visa extensions suggests that arriving before 6 AM is advisable, as queues do not show significant variation among early arrivals. One individual noted arriving at 4:50 AM and receiving ticket number 1 while another arrived at 6:10 AM receiving number 71. Therefore, as long as you arrive before 6 AM, you should expect a relatively quick processing time once the office opens.
