Phuket Us Consular Outreach

[sbk]

The Consular Section of the American Embassy in Bangkok is pleased to

inform you of the time and place for the previously scheduled consular

outreach visit to Phuket on December 17, 2010. Please come if you can!

Consular staff will be available to provide services on:

Friday, December 17, 2010 from 8:00 to 12:00 at the Metropole Hotel, at

1 Soi Surin, Montri Road, Phuket, 83000, Thailand. Telephone: 76-215-050

The next two outreaches planned for Phuket will be on March 16, 2011 and

June 16, 2011.

The following consular services will be available during our outreach

visits:

* Passport renewal applications ($135.00 or Baht 4,050 for adult

passports, and $105 or Baht 3,150 for a child's passport).

* Notarial Services and Certified Copies ($50.00 or Baht 1,500).

This includes income affidavits for retirees in Thailand.

* Extra visa pages ($82 or Baht 2,460). Note: we can accept

applications, but the passports will have to be brought back to the

Embassy for final processing the next working day. As of this writing,

Thailand Post has approved our request to use prepaid envelopes to

return passports. We will bring prepaid envelopes on outreaches that

you can buy from us (at cost) if you wish us have us mail your passport

back to you. Alternatively, you can pick up your passport at the

Embassy. You can also have a friend pick up your passport by giving

them written authorization to present to us.

* Social security, VA, or other federal benefits question will be

limited, but we will try to provide forms and answers.

(Please bring exact change!)

Consular Reports of Birth cannot be processed during consular outreach

trips.

If you have any questions, please email acsbkk (at) state.gov or call the

American Citizen Services Unit at 02-205-4049.

We look forward to seeing you.

Sincerely,

American Citizen Services
