What time should I arrive for my ED Visa extension at Chiang Mai immigration to ensure I get it processed?

the schools that charge a "special price" (4900baht or more) are "greasing the wheels at the immigration office and usually fudging the records to show you hit the mandatory attendance requirements.

I have seen students from those schools get the paperwork and try to do it themselves BUT the immigration office only gave them 14 days under consideration and then showed up at the school to make sure the student was studying before they could go back and get only a 60 day extension (not the full 90 days).

Goodmorning, it depends how busy it is, there are really people that go sit in line very early. So when you think i go about 7.30 its possible there are already a few in front off you. I once went that time and i was already nr9. So i think ok i be done soon but one guy carried about 10 paspoorts, so after all i was done after lunch. Since that time i use a agency. I use the one in Pranthip Plaza, 4 floor, Gold and Tree lawyer. But if you want to do it on your own, it will be fine too but just be prepared that it can take a while waiting. I like use office because they take care off all paperwork you need, so there wont be any problem. If you use agency you will be in and out in about 15 minutes. For me worth the money. Now im not longer on ED visa, but these were my experience. Good luck!

i will!

yeah this is why i wanna go on my own 😜 i know the real price is 1900 and i have been to immigration before so i can handle it by myself! im going the one in jomtien(pattaya) and i was there for other things before but always lucky as only max 10people in front of me in line (sometimes going late morning and sometimes early afternoon after lunch break) i wish u good luck!🙂
