Map “Route to the Immigration Police in Pattaya”
This map shows the location of the Immigration Police, as well as routes there from the center of Pattaya.
These routes can be traveled both by car and by motorcycle (there is no passage on roads where motorcycles are prohibited).
The map shows two routes – one of them passes through the city and is shorter, but may be slower due to heavy city traffic. The second route takes you to the Sukhumvit Highway, which is a slightly longer route, but may be faster.

- photographs (for example, to obtain a certificate of residence)
