Us Consular Visit Udon Thani & Khon Kaen

[sbk]

Dear Udon Thani and Khon Kaen Area American Citizens,

The Consular Section of the American Embassy in Bangkok is pleased to inform you of three upcoming Embassy consular visits to Udon Thani and Khon Kaen. Please mark your calendars!

The Consul General and consular staff will be available to provide consular services at the following dates and locations:

Monday, August 20, 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM in Udon Thani at the Charoensri Grand Royal Hotel. Please look for signs in the hotel lobby pointing to the location of the outreach.

Tuesday, August 21, 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM in Khon Kaen at Khon Kaen University in Meeting Room 1, Building 1, 1st Floor, of Central Library in Khon Kaen University.

There will also be an opportunity to meet and greet the Consul General at these outreaches.

We also plan to visit Pattaya and Phuket in the coming weeks. We will send a separate message as soon as the dates are set.

The following consular services will be available during our outreach visits:

# 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 will be limited, but we will try to provide forms and answers

(Please bring exact change!)

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 for final processing 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) at the Embassy. We regret any inconvenience caused by this change in procedure, and we are still working on gaining authorization to begin mailing passports back to applicants.

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

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 Udon Thani on August 20th or Khon Kaen on August 21st. We will let everyone know as soon as the dates and locations of the Pattaya and Phuket outreaches have been confirmed.

Sincerely,

American Citizen Services
