Hi! Anyone knows if the Thai consulate in Ho Chi Minh is open today or officially closed? Official documents state April 13 for Songkran. Thank you :)

Trying to apply for online visa but everything I try gets stalled can’t proceed what I need to do or who I talk to

Today I went to Chiang Mai Immigration intending to extend my Non-O visa based on a Thai Wife. I arrived at 08:15 and got queue number C-17. They opened at 08:30. At 09:30, after processing queue number C-10, they announced they were already full for today but we could still have our paperwork checked today, for review at a later date. When my number was called the IO said my paperwork was well prepared but I had used an out of date form STM.2 which I got from their website (the current form is in the photo). The only other issue was that some of our signatures were too low on the paper and we need to sign again higher on the paper. I was told to come back on April 17, after Songkran as my current visa expires on April 28.

I would like to know the official dates immigration division 1 will close for Songkran krub?

Bit of a dumb question, but if I go to Thailand with a normal visa, spend days at Songkran, and then fly out to Hanoi to apply for the DTV, would that affect my process of being accepted or nah?

I’m applying through London embassy on 20th March. Rules/requirements seem to change rapidly so does anyone with a recent successful application through London embassy have any hints, tips or surprises? Had to book my return flight for April 11th so no time for Requests For More Information etc. Thanks! x

For fun in Both Bkk and Pattaya for first time songkran. April 13 to 16 Bkk. April 16 to 20 pattaya. Is that a good plan ??

If I arrive on a 60-day visa free entry, can I visit Lao with my thai wife , for a few days and re-enter Thailand for my flight home to UK ? ...Or will that be a problem because it will count as 2x60day visa free entries in first half of year?

(I have been using non-O for 3 month stays over past 7 years, bug this time its just a short holiday around songkran)

Thanks for all advice

Anyone from bahamas living in Thailand and was the process easy looking to move in April
