Us Consular Services Visit

[sbk]

Received this email today:

Consular staff will be available to provide consular services at the

following dates and locations:

Friday, December 14, 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Pattaya at the Dusithani

Resort. Please look for signs in the hotel lobby for the location of

the outreach.

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, we are no longer able to complete processing of

extra visa pages during our outreach trips, although we are working on

a solution that will allow us to do this. We can accept passport

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 working on

finding a secure solution to mail passports back to applicants from

outreaches. You can now have your passport mailed back to you if you

apply at the embassy.

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.
