But I’m just guessing. Might be able to find some info on ThaiVisa.com. I’m guessing Ruamrudi would be close enough for them not to care – anyway, it’s so close, even if you can’t get anything done, at least there’s some nice food and a Starbucks there!

Would Ruamrudi fall into their jurisdiction I wonder?

I came across your blog while searching for a map to go to Chaengwattana office.

Tks for all the info you put together.

It was amazing… clean, fast, and efficient. Then I sat in traffic for an hour and a half getting home 🙂

I have also been told that you can only use the One-Stop if your company is in the BOI program, or has over 30 million baht in registered capital. I don’t quality for either, but it might be worth a trip down there to ask just in case.

It’s spacious, they’re more efficient, and they give the agents cubicles with desks that you go in and sit at while they go over your paperwork. No more standing in front of plexiglass, hunching down trying to talk to a sitting agent through a slot at chest level. Chaengwatthana is more convenient for me to travel to, too. I’m in the minority, though, so it sounds like this new One Stop location is a big win for everyone else.

At least it’s in a convenient place to go down and ask though.

I have a non-type O marriage visa and we were told only BOI could

use One Stop for re-entry and we could only do extensions at One Stop.
