My 90 day reporting of permanent address by post is due. Does anyone know if the office at Phitsanulok is ready to do this yet ? Or does it still have to go to Nan ?

Copy of every page from passport...
Also of the blank pages?

Some of the staff are new and careful not to make any mistake, for which reason they may be asking for more documentation than absolutely needed.

I intend posting my next 90 day report to Nan until I am officially told otherwise.
How are we expected to know about the Phitsanulok office unless officially informed?

Thai immigration works in strange ways … :)
Recent report suggests the office is open
You could give Phitsanulok a call: 055-259-635 081-400-3080

I made my 90 day report today in Phitsanulok and had a very good experience. The man who took care of me had a very keen sense of humor and was joking the whole time I was there. After having had to put up with the immigration group in Pattaya for the past 5 years, this was a refreshing change. He did ask for copies of my passport, that I did not have to show in Pattaya for a 90 day visit. All you have to do is to go across the street, and pass through the doctors office, to the back of the complex, and get copies made at a cost of 1 baht each. This was the most friendly experience I have ever had at a Thai immigration office. I only have to go 90 km one way now. Mae Sot was a real pain.

Next month i have to do my yearly marriage visa. Has anyone been to the office at Phitsanulok and had it done yet ? I've heard its only doing retirement visa's so am a bit concerned. Also, for those who have been, whats it like, friendly staff, easy to find and problems etc etc.

I suspect if they are doing any they are doing all. Perhaps a misunderstanding in that retirement gets immediate local approval but marriage always has to be approved at a higher level and a second trip made to obtain final stamp. Do not believe you will have any problem doing marriage next month.

Lopburi3.. thanks for that, will give them a try a couple of days before due date so if they are not up to speed yet can always go to Nan. Will let this thread know the result.

Should always do early - start date will not change so you lose nothing. I would recommend at least a week or two early just in case of a new paper or two being required.

I was just up there 2 days ago and all of the staff were friendly, even joking around with me in English, and very helpful. From what I understand, they are a full service office and can handle any immigration request that you have. I have never dealt with Bangkok immigration, but did so with the group in Pattaya. These people in P-Luk, are a breath of resh air compared to Pattaya. The man I dealt with was fairly fluent in English.
Hope all goes well for you.

Just to let everyone know :-
Got my 90 day extension back through the post from Nan immigration today. On the bottom there was a note saying that Phitsanulok immigration office would be doing the 90 day reporting from now on and will also be doing the "marriage' visa's. :)

I live here in Pitlok part of the year and still come to LOS on a simple tourist visa (two months plus extension). Before I used to get the extension in BKK at soi suan plu, yesterday, I went to get the one-month extension at Phitsanulok. No one else there when I went. The first guy I spoke to was a little confused, I might have been the first tourist visa there as most of the locals I hsve spoken too who have used their services (within the limited timeframe that the office has been open) were here on variou "O" type visas. Anyway we got things sorted out, but they wanted copies of my entire passport. I asked them why they were interested in my goings-and-comings in 2004, but they just smiled and said the entire passport--so be aware.
Then they passed it from person to person to check. I have to to fill out a "new form" (I had filled out a form I had printed from the internet ahead of time, as I always did in BKK). The "new form" was the same form I had just done, but two-sided (printed on both sides of the pae) versus the form I had, two pages.

Anyway, took about an hour with no one else there. I did hear one of the officers make a phone call about me (I don't know to who) but it amounted to nothing. They were congenial and friendly, muc more so than BKK has ever been, but then again they don't service the multiude of people (sometimes very rude) and nationalities that the BKK office services, which I imagine is quite a headache. The office has no air (as it is an open storefron) and as least yesterday, no fan. Ok for the Thais, hot for me as it was 35 degrees here in Phitsanulok.

Wow! I've been so busy over the last month or so and just catching up on things. This is the first I have heard about Phitsanalok and I live only about 100 km away! I previously reported on this forum being turned away from Nan because I thought Si Satchanalai came under their jurisduction. This was followed by a trip to Tak only to be turned away because I had two months to run on my visitor's visa. ( I am applying for marriage or retirement visa whichever causes the least difficulties). My question is, do I now come under the jurisdiction of Phitsanalok or do I still have to go to Tak

Hi, have to go to the immigration office in Phitsanulok from Phetchabun. If anyone has gone there, from the south, can they post any information that might help in finding it. Seen the google map and it appears that there is a one way system on the roads leading to it.
Any information will help as i've never even been to Phitsanulok.

Have a look at posts 35 and 45 (and the photo in post 20) in this thread which provide local directional information that may be helpful.

I mailed my 90 day report to Phitsanulok last week. Today I go the receipt back.
As Nan did, they kept the copies of my passport.
So Phitsanulok works fine!

This looks like it could be the address and phone numbers of the Phitsanulok immigration office, in Thai language:

ด่านตรวจคนเข้าเมือง
อาคารพิพิธภัณฑ์ชาวแพ
ถ.พุทธบูชา ต.ในเมือง
อ.เมือง
จ.พิษณุโลก 65000
08 1400 3080
0 5525 9634-5

The immigration office seems to be in some kind of museum. In English, the address, incomplete, might be as follows but it may be better to copy/paste the Thai address for sending a letter.

Immigration Office
??? Museum
Talat Phuttha Bucha
Tambon Nai Mueang
Amphoe Mueang
Phitsanulok 65000

Maestro
It's Thanon (Road) Phuttha Bucha, not Talat (Market)

Pls correct the word "Talat" in your google map

Oh yes they do married visa all right I have just wasted six hours travelling there and back to be told I need more to RENEW my married visa.
Going back on Friday now again guy wanted to give me a retirement visa instead by the way but then realised that the Embassy letter only covered 45k thb
now remember that this is a renewal but the first one at this office and I think that is where the problem is all offices have their own rules
I need photos of me & wife outside the house photo of the house number with me & wife, map of where the house is and either pay the guy there 5k thb to come and inspect the house but then he agreed to if next time we go we take head of village with us to confirm that wife and I live together and have done for a few years now TOGETHER.
Oh two copies of everything by the way copies of all passport new and old one (to show comings and goings from Thailand) only one print per A4 page and only one photo per page copies of the yellow house book and the blue house book
All this is on top of what I have read on the Thai Immigration site and here which includes wifes ID, wedding certificate, embassy letter, etc

am I a little cheesed off bet your fu##ing life I am talk about jobs worth but I did keep the smile on and even the wife was annoyed as she spoke to them yesterday and as she says couldn't they have told her then what they wanted extra she told them what I had ready to take with us.

Oh and fillaly there was a guy from Wichenbury travelled further than I did for the third time getting a married visa for the first time and he was turned down for not having any house photos an Auzzie guy and not very happy Auzzie guy either

Anyway now to do some printing of the photos and anything else I can think of, just in case the boss man forgot to mention any thing as seems to be his want.

Much appreciated, Glemos. I think I remember how I, not knowing Thai, wrongly used the Thai abbreviation ถ. for Thanon: I looked at an entry using the same abbreviation in my list a few lines higher up. So I had better look through my whole list once more, and try to memorise what ถ. and ต. stand for in the Thai address.

The extension will indeed take a long time, as the wife has to be interviewed etc. An extension based on marriage does take some time, not to mention that you will have to come back after 30 days to get the final approval.
