Why are some Thai immigration offices using the correct terminology for "Extension of Stay Permit" instead of "visa extension"?
Today the Immigration Buriram made my day!
Finally, they stopped calling the "Extension of Stay Permit" a "visa extension"
Now they use the correct wording
at my Immigration Sisaket, it is still called "visa extension" , regardless there technically is nothing such

The thing I like most about these Issan immigration offices are the times to completion. Nong Khai's are about the same and they are true to their word. TM30 took all of 7 minutes.
