Squaready Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I need a stamp from the ministry of foreign affairs. Is there an office here in Phuket? Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuketSarah Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Likely you will have to go to Bangkok- beware the scam where the nice office worker wants 1000 baht to fill out the form because " it's special language.." Anyone literate in Thai can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Opened one in Phuket about 7 years ago. Located in the old municipal building. Phuket Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistachios Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Are you sure about that? I had to go through an agency to get some documents stamped (cheaper and less of a hassle than a round trip to bkk) but it sure would have been easier to go directly to phuket town. At the time when I did the research on how to proceed, I didn't read anything about that office. Where is the old municipal building? That agency was there btw https://www.google.co.th/maps/place/Phuket+Translation+Office+(Khao+Rung)/@7.8883238,98.3816418,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xe481b01f7e683d4a!8m2!3d7.8883238!4d98.3816418 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appeared to be a one - off scam by the office workers that the office manager helped along suggesting it. I imagine they try it with all foreigners and probably have a decent percentage buy it.
