I'm going to immigration at Wattana tomorrow for my first 90 day reporting on a retirement visa. What time should I arrive by if I want to be out before the lunch break?

Answer summary

To avoid the lunch break at Wattana immigration for your 90-day reporting on a retirement visa, it's advisable to arrive early, ideally between the opening time and 10:00 AM. Many users suggest that arriving after 10:00 AM may result in long waiting times due to high traffic. It's also noted that the process is typically quick, often taking about ten minutes, especially for those with retirement visas.

Can't you do the 90 reporting at a police station? If you can't what time is a good time/ day to go? Cheers

The good news is 90 day reports don't take that long to do so even with a hundred people ahead of you they can crank people thru pretty fast.

Very quick when compared to 90 day extensions which require two IO's, one to stamp and the other to verify and sign off.

Make sure you arrive early as has been advised. I just went at 11:00am and there was a huge line. My number was 358 and the display showed 156, with a large crowd waiting.

@Mark *******

you are mistaken, that section for 90 day reporting (Section A-1) gets CLOGGED with people from about 10am right on thru until the afternoon. It's a mad house

They make it real easy. 90 day folks have special access faster here. Ive heard the same from others elsewhere. Nothing to sweat.
