emanphoto Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 After successfully getting my 60 day extension today (thanks to the help of lopburi3, Lite Beer, sotsira, ubonjoe, etc!), my wife and I decided to stop off at the US embassy to see if we could get our marriage license notarized. Wellll, you can't. Aside from the protest going on out in front of the embassy, this note was taped to the inside of the embassy front door. It's somewhat old news judging by the date on the note, but I didn't see any posts about it on thaivisa. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 According to this recent topic the appointment system has been in place for some time and the embassy has begun to enforce it more rigorously now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doontp Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 What was the protest outside the embassy about? I think because of Thaksin's visit to the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emanphoto Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 They were protesting the US allowing Thaksin to visit the US and not arresting him and sending him back to Thailand to serve is sentence.

emanphoto Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) I must have missed that part of their web site. Trying to read the embassy site on an iphone as a passenger in a car must not be a forte of mine. Once I got to the site, I just looked for the address and hours which said 4pm. Got there and it's now 2pm, but without an appointment, I wouldn't have gotten in anyway it seems. Hey, I'll work there if they are short staffed! I'd bet my visa 'issues' would go away nicely then! And when I say "issues", I mean what every other foreign resident has to go through here. According to this recent topic the appointment system has been in place for some time and the embassy has begun to enforce it more rigorously now.

Colabamumbai Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Thanks now... I wondered if it was foreigners protesting about something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
