Old Croc Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) I would think the Honorary Consul would be your best bet. Edited September 25, 2012 by Old Croc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Jerd Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 I would think the Honorary Consul would be your best bet. I heard he isnt a JP, I was thinking there might be some retired lawyers that stay here long term or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Thai lawyers can do depositions, proof of identity etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Thai lawyers cannot notorize a document. There is a course and some do notorizations, it is only recognised by the Thai law society. There is no law governing notorization in Thailand, making that a document notorized by a Thai lawyer can be challanged in a foreign court.

Stanley Jerd Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 I should have been a bit more specific in my OP, I need a statutory decleration signed in Phuket. I know you can get it done in Bangkok at the embassy but that is not really convenient for me. I did a bit of research and I read that Larry Cunningham the Aus consulate in Phuket is not a JP.

harrry Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 You may not need a JP. There have been changes in law which replace the need for JPs with Stat Decs etc by a list of people who are eligle. They include such people as School Teachers Doctors Accountants etc so you may only need to find someone on holiday who has those positions in australia. http://www.ag.gov.au/Documents/StatutoryDeclaration200602.pdf gives the commonwealth requirements and most states are now similar.

sanuk21 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 If this is a stat dec for monthly income for a thai non-imm visa, the Australian Consul can authorise a letter which can replace the Australian Embassy stat dec. Sanuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 If it is to be used for Thai immigration and an extension they will only accept a Stat Dec made at the embassy. Unfortunately I have to travel to Bangkok every year just for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissChris Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 What do you want it for? There are recent changes in some Australian states about witnessing Stat Decs. An Australian lawyer can witness as well. You can check online whether they have a current practicing certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the stat dec is for a monthly income statement for O visa extension and you are an Australian living in Phuket......you are making an unneccessary trip to Bangkok.

Yes as I stated before, I am aware that JPs are in located in Bangkok, I am aware that in some occasions that other people can witness documents. My document has nothing to do with Immigration. It clearly states I need a JP to witness me signing it in front of him/her. Not lawyers or school teachers from various places in Australia or Bangkok.

The ones on the lists I sent would. Consolates do not have JPs however they can authorise documents however Australia does not allow Honary consulates to do so.

KhunHeineken Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) I draw your attention to Page 12 of the JP of NSW Handbook. It clearly states a JP of NSW can not perform their duties whilst in another State or country. http://www.jp.nsw.gov.au/agdbasev7wr/_assets/jp/m407351l411352/jp_handbook.pdf I'm sure JP's of other States of Australia would be under the same restrictions. I would say you will need to go to The Australian Embassy in Bangkok because, legally, the embassy is on sovereign Australian soil.

I asked where in Phuket to find a JP and I get speared into Australian government websites that tell me about Australian laws state by state.

Stanley Jerd Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 You can get stat decs signed by JPs in Thailand because I have done it before. Now if anyone knows of someone in Phuket it would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanuk21 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The poster reminds me of the "the dog that bites the hand that feeds it". All the respondents as far as I can see have acted with goodwill in trying to assist the poster but obviously he will never be satisfied. I suggest that this thread be closed post haste and not waste any more members' time. Sanuk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
