Police & Immigration

Police & Immigration: there are different Police stations in Phuket. But the only one where you find English speaking people is the Tourist Police. In the listings below you will find the major Phuket police stations. We’ve all had to deal with immigration as we try to stay in Thailand for a couple of weeks up to the rest of our lives. It works, to some degree, but you wouldn’t be alone if you were admitted to being frustrated with the system! Most of us despise all the running around we must do in order to stay legal in the country, and some of us just don’t bother – overstaying for years and even decades at a time! It’s important to visit immigration in Phuket as necessary to avoid problems. Phuket has two immigration offices where you can apply for a visa extension. The main immigration office is in Phuket Town on Phuket Road not far from Saphan Hin public park. If you’re staying at one of Phuket’s west coast beaches, the nearest immigration office is on Patong beach.
