pmugghc Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Why didn't they locate it on Walking St, 1-stop shopping to bring someone to your home country? Sent from my Nexus 4 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post phantomfiddler Posted May 31, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2013 Personally I think the money would have been MUCH better spent on expanding the Immigration Office in Soi 5, Jomtien, which is incredibly over-run and close to incapable of dealing with the large increase of tourists and expats needing it,s services. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NanLaew Posted June 2, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2013 The cynics and others with absolutely NO need for anyone they know to get a Thai passport are first to respond... as expected. Thai passports are issued by MFA whereas foreign immigration is the remit of a division of the Royal Thai Police. Different departments, budgets and demographics dictate this and having a local Thai passport office is a benefit for the locals and a welcome addition for the community in general IMHO. Plus it fills up an otherwise vacant shop front in the 'The Avenue' that is so despised by the local, whining farangs. Maybe Thai Immigration should relocate there as well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZEMADE Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 What does a Thai have to do and what documents, ID's etc do they have to bring to get a Thai Passport. My wife has one already, but I want her mother and sister to get one for a future trip. They will be coming to Pattaya for a holiday next month, so I want to know what they need to bring with them, to enable them to get the Passport.

You can go to a whole host of countries without a visa: Brazil, Russia, India to start. 3 out 4 brics is not bad with the dinosaurs & piigs of Europe & the US asking Thai's to jump through hoops to get a visa. Japan, Singapore & South Korea along with South Africa & Zambia with Argentina, Chile & Switzerland also allowing visas on entry. Not a bad list Edited January 23, 2014 by SidJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
