watcharacters Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 We're visiting Chaing Mai at the beginning of November and thought I'd use the services of the US consulate to get my income verification letter rather than bus it all the way to Bangkok. Do I need to make an appointment to do this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerL Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Yes need an appointment. I went over on 16th of October for my income letter. Also, bring your passport and printout of the appointment. The cost is still 50 USD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippydedodah Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 yes...pretty sure that other than for "emergency" services, an appt is needed for everything over there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgodber Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I am wondering if we also need an appointment using the "outreach" program for the same income verification letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellodolly Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Yes you do google them and ,make an on line appointment. I am pretty sure the only days they are open for appointments are Tuesday's and Thursdays. Sorry I can not give you the link for Chiang Mai.

watcharacters Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 I've made an appointment and saved having to make a special trip to Bangkok just for that. I like Bangkok but since I have a little time compression didn't want to have to go there on a mission for the verification letter. My sincere thanks to all of you for your replies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcharacters Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Again, my thanks to all for the information given. The procedure at the consulate was flawless. the only wrench in the operation is that I somehow managed to not be able to find the confirmation of the appointment time on my lap's mail. My mistake. I got to the consulate early and explained I didn't know my appointment time. The Southeast Asian looking fellow who helped me simply looked at my passport and said I'm 2 hours early. He handed me the form to fill out and I was on my way. He along with the Thai appearing lady at the next window were a pleasure to deal with. The last man I saw at window three was caucasian and he was just as pleasant and friendly as the two previous people who helped me. The American expats in Chaing Mai are lucky to have such a facility in place I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
