An update on Phuket Immigration services.
There’s maybe some value in here for others...
I was very pleased as it was early afternoon, and I was in and out in about 20 minutes for two services done, one after the other...
First service was a Certificate of Residency, my address was current, 90 day reporting current and extension of stay in order. Volunteer smiled, gave me a form, showed me where to complete, showed me and marked with paperclips the three passport items required to be photocopied, and that a photo was required. Form completed, photocopies made, signed and dated, photo obtained I returned to volunteer, more smiles and polite chit chat, and the magic number slip printed.
Sit briefly, then called to desk 5, more politeness, 300 baht paid, sit briefly again. Called to desk 4, certificate provided with passport. Fast, courteous, done with smiles.
Second service asked of volunteers ad-hoc, is my 90 day reporting in range for 9 June? Pleasantly answered yes, another magic slip provided. No time to sit, called immediately to desk 2, greeted by a quietly singing man. Smiles, pleasant chit chat, reporting form completed by him, signed by me, passport stapled, respectful, friendly, courteous and relaxed.
A thank you to volunteers, returned with a beaming smile and I was done...
I like visiting Phuket Immigration.
One day I may stop fearing it... 5555
