There's an informational link, oddly enough.

If that was changed to "smoking weed" there would have been an uproar from the anti-everything movement and ultra conservatives. But that didn't happen.

Maybe he just wanted to show off his tattooed nipples!

which you do not need if the passport is issued in UK Ah, right, so the letter is not a requirement to confirm that the passport is real, as you claimed, it is just a letter requesting IB's cooperation with transferring the visa/extension to the new document. Passports issued through HMPO, The Trendy, are issued in the UK ("Issued by: HMPO"). There is nothing on the passport to suggest to Immigration, or anyone else, that the passport was not issued in the UK.

when getting a new passport in Thailand you have needed a letter from the Embassy to state it's real for immigration, getting one back in the UK was not needed. What? Do you mean the letter that is issued requesting Immigration to transfer visas/extensions? I got a new passport three years ago from HMPO at The Trendy and was not given a letter "stating that it was real". I was given a letter to facilitate the extension transfer.

Who cares... a bit like who is Kardashian... You seem to and you seem to have enough knowledge of the type to care!

Bodily enhancements don't make a woman any more of a liar, or any less trustworthy, than the rest of them (or men, come to that)!

I've had relationships with two Thai women who had enhancements and they are very pleasant to touch. You do know that the enhancement, whether it is silicone or saline, is placed behind the natural breast, yes? What you touch is real breast.

Yes, maybe corruption is not only endemic to Thailand!

The red top rag probably isn't following her around but it probably does pay for salacious photos of the bint and her ilk. There are more worthy stories, and they are easily found, but these are published because people like us read them, comment on them (directly promoting them) but, oddly, some then complain about them being there in the first place because they consider them unworthy!

Well, you seem to, you are asking about her!

To match the box.

On what do you base that bizarre assertion? Do you know her?

No, 90-day reports are not acceptable. A traffic stop could well involve your being asked for your passport but not very likely if you show a Thai licence or a valid foreign one ...unless they're suspicious of you. In my experience, the insurance companies do not check how long you have been in Thailand/using a foreign licence when a claim is made as long as your home licence is valid. I made three substantial claims to Viriyah when I was using an old UK paper licence that I had been driving on for years here without any questions. All the claims were accepted and paid.

What?

Citibank operates as a branch of the US bank and is not a locally-incorporated entity. Citibank Thailand is a Thai-registered company, Thai-licenced by the Bank of Thailand, it is not "a branch" of Citibank NA. It is a member of Citigroup. Citibank has three retail branches in Bangkok, Interchange, Silom and The Crystal https://www.citibank.co.th/en/static/AboutUs.htm

A jail sentence as prescribed under the law, by a court, not "a very short" one.

Anywhere in the West that isn't Liverpool? I'm guessing from your response that you are not from the US, the UK or Europe, then, all regions where the "rage" you referenced has been well documented.

The title of this thread is completely false, the British Embassy's passport certification service has not been cancelled.

How about providing the full story about your cancelled appointment before slagging off the Embassy? Providing a certified copy of a passport is not a service that has been cancelled. I have now had three confirmations that the service still exists, by email, through the Embassy's Facebook account and in person with the Consular section on the phone.

That the Embassy requires the original passport in order to certify a copy of it is perfectly rational, it does not "make a mockery of HMPO's procedures in any way. Making an appointment with the Embassy for that service does not require the passport to be out of the applicants hands at all. If an applicant chooses to send the passport in by post for the same service that is their choice. I clicked on "Sad", not because I was saddened but because I felt that it was sad of you to post the "mockery" sentiment that was not justified in my opinion, it is no "big mystery".

Citibank Thailand is an American bank. Citibank Thailand is a Thai bank. All retail banks with a Thai operating licence are Thai banks.

There are none. Why is UOBT any more trustworthy in your eyes than all the other Thai banks?

What? It’s an American company lol No, it is not, Citibank Thailand (the only Citibank in Thailand) is a Thai bank.

Hard cheese. Citibank Thailand is a Thai bank!
