Hoping I can get some advice here or insight. I am at chaeng wattan right now and it is about 17:30. I am Getting an extension on my non imm Ed visa. I am # 358 and they are around 210 at the moment. I asked the lady earlier today about what happens if I do not get called. She said they stay .around til everyone gets called. As it is 5 already and I have a ways to go.. I am looking for any real experiences with this. Wondering if I should cut my losses or stick around and attempt to get it done. Sorry for the typos..autocrap

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is seeking advice on whether to wait at the Chaeng Wattan Immigration Office for an extension on their NON-Immigrant ED visa, as they are currently waiting in a long queue. Fellow users confirm that the staff will stay until all numbers are called, sharing personal experiences of waiting late into the evening to complete their applications. The consensus is that if you have a queue number, you will be served eventually, though the decision to stay or leave ultimately lies with the individual.

If you have a queue number you will get served but if your ways to go are that important than go and spend another day at Immigration. The decision is yours to make not ours.

The officer will work until the que is running out so it is depends on you.
