This is just for Covid extensions - I would quite like to see an appointment system for the 12 month extension.
 
If you are living in the Surin area don't panic! This queue service is only applicable to those living in the Immigration Division 1 area, namely, Bangkok.

From their web site: http://203.151.166.132/immigrant_queue/booking/

"Online queue reservation service It is a service for those who will come to receive services at the Immigration Division 1 only (Immigration Division 1 is responsible for the service of the resident alien. In the area of Bangkok Province only)

It's an online appointment queue reservation for foreigners who will come to be served at Immigration division 1 only. Immigration division 1 is responsible for providing services for foreigners who reside in Bangkok only."

Well that's good news. I am banned from Immigration division 1 anyway. :)

There's a lesson to learn here for everyone. Don't ever ask hard questions when you are so sadly WRONG. I assumed wrongly that Thai law had to have some logic or even rhyme and reason. sadly not.

There is no panic as I believe that there are no SF members on a Covid based extension of stay.
