NST Immigration at a glance

Nakhon Si Thammarat Immigration Office handles the immigration business for foreign residents of the province -- 90-day address reporting, annual extensions of stay, TM30-related checks, re-entry permits and certificates of residence. It is a smaller, quieter office than the immigration bureaus in Bangkok, Phuket or Chiang Mai, reflecting the province's much smaller foreign-resident population.

THE OFFICE RELOCATED IN 2024 -- this page previously carried the pre-move address. The office moved from its former premises at "The Vintage" (เดอะวินเทจ) project, 99/34 Om Khai Wachirawut Road, Tha Wang, to a new site opposite Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport at 151 Moo 10, Pak Phun sub-district, operating from the new premises since 27 May 2024 (B.E. 2567) -- confirmed via the Nakhon Si Thammarat Provincial Office of Buddhism's own public-relations announcement (nrt.onab.go.th, dated 30 May 2024, reproducing the immigration office's own relocation notice with both new phone lines) and independently corroborated by Chan Dee City Municipality's own site (chandeecity.go.th), which names the same address, same landmark (opposite the airport) and same 27 May 2024 date. The office's own site (nakhonsiimmigration.go.th) did not return readable page content for us to cross-check directly, a gap that predates this run and remains open.

Address: 151 Moo 10, Pak Phun Sub-district, Mueang Nakhon Si Thammarat District, Nakhon Si Thammarat 80000 (opposite Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport, on the Ban Mokkhalan-Tha Sala shortcut road)
Hours: Standard Immigration Bureau hours are Monday-Friday, roughly 8:30 AM-12:00 PM and 1:00 PM-4:30 PM, closed weekends and public holidays -- this matches the pattern confirmed for other provincial immigration offices, but neither the relocation announcement nor the office's own site published specific opening hours we could independently re-confirm, so call ahead to verify before an important visit.
Phone: Foreigner services (งานบริการคนต่างด้าว) +66 (0)75 450 491 · Administration / investigation (งานอำนวยการ, งานสืบสวนปราบปราม) +66 (0)75 450 492 · National immigration call centre 1178
Getting there: Opposite Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport in Pak Phun sub-district, on the shortcut road toward Ban Mokkhalan and Tha Sala -- a different part of the city from the office's pre-2024 site in Tha Wang, so do not rely on an old address or saved map pin. Reachable by car, motorbike, songthaew or Grab; search "ตรวจคนเข้าเมืองจังหวัดนครศรีธรรมราช" (Nakhon Si Thammarat Immigration) rather than the old "The Vintage" project name.

What's handled here

• 90-day address reporting for long-stay residents
• Annual extensions of stay (retirement, marriage, family, work)
• TM30 address-notification matters (filed by your landlord, checked here)
• Re-entry permits (single and multiple entry)
• Certificates of residence (for a driving licence, vehicle purchase or bank account)

Notable facts

• Nakhon Si Thammarat's much smaller foreign-resident population, compared with Phuket, Chiang Mai or Bangkok, means this office is far less visited day-to-day -- expect shorter queues but also a narrower window of English-speaking staff on any given visit.
• Moved in 2024: if an older guide, map pin or search result points you to "The Vintage" project on Om Khai Wachirawut Road in Tha Wang, that is the pre-May-2024 address -- the current office is opposite the airport in Pak Phun. Address, relocation date and both current phone lines confirmed via two independent Thai government sources (nrt.onab.go.th and chandeecity.go.th); the office's own site remains unreachable for direct cross-check, so hours specifically are still call-ahead-to-confirm.
