ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS

IMMIGRATION HOLIDAYZ MAY

ALL IMMIGRATION OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED

Monday May 5th

Friday May 9th

Monday May 12th

If you have a stamp that expires on a day the immigration office is closed (weekends or holidays) and you go the very next day they're open you can get your extension like normal and will not be fined for overstay (you will get an overstay stamp in your passport but it will say "fine waived holiday")

Borders do not close for these holidays

Does anyone know what days immigration Jomtien will be closed for songkran, or more importantly what is the 1st day they reopen?

Moving to Thailand straight off the bat on a DTV Work Visa. I plan to visit and shop Condos once I arrive on Apr 2nd-- but I wonder how long it would take to settle in, since Songkran happens in about a week after I arrive. What does work hours look like, as well as general services around the city? I assume everyone might be on holidays.

Does anyone have any perspective or advice on my course of action?

I've booked a comfy hotel for 2 weeks, But I think I may need to extend it to a month.

My work involves a stationary computer and desktop setup with microphone and multiple screens, so I'm trying not to move around too much.

Thank you for any thoughts!

Can someone post what days Thai immigration is closed in the month of May 2025.. Thanks

I'm planning on going to da nang to apply for DTV. I plan to go 26th January. With the festival/public holiday this week I assume my application will take more than a week?

Is Thai embassy closed on Christmas day as I am counting down my application status?

Because Christmas day is not holiday in Thailand.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I got to Vietnam (HCMC) on Monday and submitted my application around 10am and haven’t heard anything back yet- I know it’s probably too early to hear anything (I’m just nervous lol) but my plan was to leave next Thursday night to go back to Thailand and I’m just wondering if that’s enough time? I’ve seen a few people say it took longer in HCMC than they thought so when should I start worrying?😂

I hold a uk passport and I’m applying for workcation if that makes a difference!☺️

Thanks!

Hi... it's constitution day, are immigration offices open? I've tried calling but they never answer so it's all guesswork.

Hi everyone, I’m applying DTV as a content creator in Phnom Penh and I applied on 5th Nov.

I have sent them requested documents and have no got a reply yet. In your experience, how long do they usually take and is it also possible that they reject or take longer time even though they don’t send you any emails?
