Us Embassy Consular Visit Pattaya And Phuket

[jeepholt]

This just in from American Citizen Services:

Dear Pattaya and Phuket Area American Citizens,

The Consular Section of the American Embassy in Bangkok is pleased to inform you of upcoming Embassy consular visits to Pattaya and Phuket. Staff from the American Citizen Services (ACS) Unit will be available to provide consular services on the following dates and times:

Pattaya – Friday, February 23, Dusit Resort on Beach Road, 8:00 AM till 12:00 noon

Phuket – Wednesday, February 28, Hilton Arcadia on Karon Beach, 8:00 AM till 12:00 noon.

The following consular services will be available

- Passport renewal applications ($67.00 or Baht 2546 for adult passports, and $82 or Baht 3116 for a child’s passport)

- Notarial Services and Certified Copies ($30.00 or Baht 1140)

- Absentee ballot application and voting abroad information

- Social security, VA or other federal benefits question

NOTE: Unfortunately, a recent upgrade to the ACS systems software requires additional processing for applications for extra visa pages. As a result, we will no longer be able to complete processing of extra visa pages during our outreach trips. We can accept applications, but the passports will have to be brought back to the Embassy so the processing can be completed the next day. The passports will then have to be picked up in person (or by a friend upon presentation of a letter of authorization signed by the applicant). We regret any inconvenience caused by this change in procedure, and we are working on gaining authorization to begin mailing passports back to applicants.

Additionally, Consular Reports of Birth can not be processed during consular outreach trips.

**We ask that you bring correct change and that you provide a copy of your passport’s photo page if you wish to renew your passport or ad visa pages

If you have any questions, please e-mail: [email protected] or call the American Citizen Services Unit at: 02-205-4049.

We look forward to seeing you in Pattaya on February 23d and in Phuket on February 28th.

Sincerely,

American Citizen Services

U.S. Embassy Bangkok
