Phetchaburi Immigration.

Phetchaburi Immigration at a glance

In March 2023, Phetchaburi Immigration relocated from a smaller in-town location to a purpose-built office on a 7-rai plot of government land in Cha-am District's Khao Yai Sub-district, opening on March 20, 2023. The move reflects a growing foreign-resident population along the Cha-am/Hua Hin coast even though Cha-am itself sits inside Phetchaburi province -- BAANLYY covers Cha-am's everyday life and property market inside the neighbouring Hua Hin area guide, given how closely the two towns overlap, but immigration matters for Cha-am residents are handled here, at the Phetchaburi provincial office, not in Hua Hin, which falls under Prachuap Khiri Khan's immigration jurisdiction.

NOTE ON VERIFICATION: the address and March 2023 relocation date are corroborated by contemporaneous local-news coverage (Hua Hin Today) and multiple independent visa-service directories; a direct office telephone line could not be independently confirmed at time of writing -- the office's own site is built around an online appointment-booking system rather than a published hours/contact page, so book online or use the national immigration call centre (1178) for anything time-sensitive.

Address: 55 Moo 2, Khao Yai Sub-district, Cha-am District, Phetchaburi 76120
Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 AM-4:30 PM, closed weekends and public holidays -- confirmed via independent visa-service and expat-directory sources (huahinvisa.net, onlychaam.com); the office's own site (phetchaburi.immigration.go.th) is built around an online appointment-booking system rather than a published static hours page, so book an appointment online or call ahead for anything time-sensitive.
Phone: National immigration call centre 1178 (a direct office line was not independently confirmed at time of writing -- book an appointment via phetchaburi.immigration.go.th or call 1178)
Getting there: On a purpose-built 7-rai government plot in Khao Yai Sub-district, Cha-am District, near Khao Nang Phanthurat Forest Park and a short distance inland from the Phetkasem Highway between Cha-am and Hua Hin -- reachable by car, motorbike or Grab.

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

• Cha-am falls under Phetchaburi provincial immigration jurisdiction, not Prachuap Khiri Khan/Hua Hin's -- despite Cha-am's day-to-day life and rental market being covered inside BAANLYY's Hua Hin area guide, residents there register and extend their stay here.
• The office moved into its current purpose-built Cha-am location in March 2023, after previously operating from a smaller site in Phetchaburi town.
