Last week in the Consular team #19

[British Consular Team]

Thailand is now on the UK Red list, which means new restrictions when entering the UK. Check out more details on GOV.UK.   Travel Advice  has also been updated – we now advise against all but essential travel to Thailand. You can sign up to get email notifications on when it changes again. 

 

Our in-person notarial services have now resumed. You can see available slots and make appointments on our booking page. See Notarial and Documentary Services Guide for Thailand for more information. 

 

In the office, we provided support to bereaved families, dealt with welfare and hospitalisation cases, and worked with Thai authorities on supporting Brits who were arrested. We also facilitated 3 citizenship ceremonies in the past weeks, which is always a welcome note of positivity in our work  

 

Our Prevention work continues to make progress. One of our focuses at the moment is British nationals in care homes. The team works with care home staff in Thailand to provide support to Brits who live in homes and suffer from dementia. To reduce vulnerability, we plan to deliver specialist dementia training for these care workers. Last week, the team facilitated a video call between Dementia Carers Count UK and McKean Senior Care workers in Chiang Mai to discuss views on dementia care in Thailand. These will be used to tailor a training programme for care home staff. 

 

We continue to issue our weekly vaccination bulletin with regular updates about the vaccination programme in Thailand. If you would like to receive this, you can sign up by sending an email to [email protected].

Positive, Useful & Encouraging.

Could just say “Prisoners” though …….how many Brits are there & how long detained / imprisoned ?

mean “bereaved UK Citizens” ?

request Thai Care Home Brits statistics ….appears a largely unreported but significant issue. 

request numbers on uninsured Hospital Brit Cases …..with breakdown by Illness / Injury….

 

You can see my limited Diplomatic skills.

Rest assured I am a resident conservative Brit not some bothersome Russian Troll……. !

 

I will in any case research myself the above requests, thanks for prompting this belated Interest !

Really, your request must be for some academic reason, as wanting to know breakdown by illness/injury is so beyond ridiculous, for what ends?
