How we measure

  • Our consultants are inside Phuket Town Immigration Office multiple times per week with real client files.
  • "Wait time" = ticket-pull to officer-call, not including doc-prep time.
  • Numbers reflect retirement-visa queues (counters dealing with Non-O extensions, conversions, 90-day reports). Tourist-visa queues run differently.
  • Updated every Monday and Thursday.

Best time to book a pre-check

If you want us to attend the office with you, request a pre-check at least 10 working days ahead. We co-ordinate your bank letter (3-day issue window) with the lowest-queue morning we can secure.
