Phuket Immigration silent on fee increase

Phuket Immigration officials have not commented on the recent increase in visa extension fees, which took effect nationwide on April 18. The fee adjustment, now in force at all immigration offices including Phuket, has drawn questions from foreign residents and visitors seeking clarification on the change.

No Public Statement from Phuket Office

Despite the fee hike, the Phuket Immigration office has not released any public statement or explanation regarding the increase. As of April 18, visa extension applicants in Phuket are paying the new, higher rates without official guidance on the reason for the adjustment.

Local immigration officers have continued regular operations, processing applications under the new fee schedule. Foreign nationals visiting the office have reported receiving no additional information about the policy change from staff.

The lack of communication has left many seeking answers about the rationale behind the increased fees and whether further changes are expected. No timeline has been given for any official comment or clarification from Phuket Immigration.
