I appologise if this is answered somewhere else but all the threads I have seen regarding HM's resignation have been closed.

I realise that the consulate will only open 1 day a week but will the same services be offered eg. pension letter for visa?

I need to know if a trip to BKK will be necessary?

Thanks.

as i understand it, there will someone coming from the Embassy in BKK to Pattaya once a week

i expect they will accept applications for proof of pensions etc during that time of opening and return with them, to be collected the following week

wether you have to go to Bangkok will depend on how much time you have in hand before your application is due.
