Buriram Immigration "NEW" office

[Starman]

There have been stories circulating recently about Buriram Immigration opening a new office near to Chang Arena. It is located behind the KFC there.

Initial reports were that it was going to be open for the duration of the MotoGP in order to assist the vast amount of expats expected to attend the event.

A friend of mine went in there yesterday. He was told by the sole officer there that this is actually a permanent office. It will be open Monday to Friday.

The "old" immigration office, the one at City Hall, will remain open. This office will be open all day from Monday to Friday and Saturday mornings.

So....it appears that after a long wait to get one office Buriram now has two.

I wonder whether each office will deal with specific things. Maybe the Chang Arena office will be just for 90 days.

That would be a good idea so probably not!!

I have been there this morning for my 90 days and they told me they also do the year visa.

Interesting ..... No mention of yearly extensions on the supplied link

"Foreign Service New Branch of Buriram Immigration At BURIRAM CASTLE AREA ( BEHIND KFC ) Foreign Service Re-entry permit into the kingdom. Notification of residence foreigners who living in Buriram over 90 days"

There is,however, a link to ONLINE 90 day reporting. Maybe someone who is due soon can give it a shot to see if it is working.

Personally, I have done one successful online report V's 3 failures

Was in there this morning for 90 day report. Got there @ 9.35 am. Only one officer and no customers. I asked about doing one year extensions and the IO confirmed that I could extend my permission to stay for one year at the new office up to 45 days before my current permission to stay expires. I got the impression that this office would be permanent, but thats just my opinion.

I also tried an online 90 day report before going in person but couldn't get past the first page. I suspect that this is because I got a new passport in 2016 and have not left & re-entered the kingdom on my new passport, so I am not in the online 90 day reporting database.

Same here, was there this morning for also my 90 day report only 1 customer (me) and 1 officer (friendly older guy).

He asked me how I know about this office and I of course mentioned Buriram Expats

Directions : If you are on the parking facing towards KFC, walk in the small "soi" on the left next to KFC and you will see the office to the right at the end of the "soi"

Went to the new office yesterday and I was in and out in around 5 minutes for my first 90 day report.

 We will be returning to Buriram for a few months in early Jan.
Is this new office the one my Wife should use to register me at her address?

[Freddy]

It's an additional office and seems you can use it of all requirements. Sounds like it would be worth going there first simply as not well known so currently very quiet.

Interesting post on TV regarding online 90 reporting in Buriram.

I have done a Successful 90 day online report with Buriram Immigration in July.

I had confirmation back within 3 hours, haven't done one since then, but I suspect it's still working
