Eff1n2ret Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) I've noted one or two old threads mentioning the Passport Office having a service in Pattaya, but I can't find anything on any website that suggests this is still running. Presumably the missis has to schlep to Bagna as she did 5 years ago? Edited April 26, 2015 by Eff1n2ret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upnotover Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 There was a thread on here earlier this year that it was open, probably best she pops into town and has a look-see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Curious Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Was open last week. Ground floor at the back of The Avenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Probably a lot quieter than it was last Fall when we last used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Was open last week. Ground floor at the back of The Avenue. A picture taken in Feb 2014: (seems to have been opened on June 3, 2013) If only I could find the pictures I have taken of the office itself. Maybe deleted.

kdrayong Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 My 'significant other' got her new passport there, about three months ago. It just took a few minutes to apply and the new passport was sent to her by EMS after very few days only. It seems to be a very good service there.

Eff1n2ret Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Probably a lot quieter than it was last Fall when we last used it. I wouldn't say so. We went there on Thursday last, arrived soon after 10.00hrs. The missis' ticket number was 210, numbers at the counter then were around 70. It was 15.45hrs before we paid and were walking out. I noticed a guy sitting near us had ticket number 330. I can't imagine how they got to him before closing time (16.30). At least it's easy to go shopping and get something to eat while you're waiting. Far better than driving to Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzi Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 So your problem was going at 10.00, My wife went two weeks ago, monday 8.30 am and was in and out in 35 minutes. Had new passport on the thursday, great service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SidJames Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 From my experience the office at Avenue is very efficient & well run. A rare highlight in civil service so kudos to the staff & management there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) The early bird catches the worm. Compared to the collapsing public service at my previous place of stay (Berlin) the service here is excellent. Berlin: online booking for an appointment in four to six weeks or take a sleeping bag to camp and wait for the tickets to be distributed. After 30 mins or so: queue closed. Or book a "ticket agent" (a student job). Edited May 10, 2015 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digbeth Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 For those thinking of going to Bang Na instead, the office is no longer at Central Bang Na but has moved to Thanya Park, another shopping mall 20minutes away on SriNakarin road, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digbeth Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Ministry of Foreign Affair's service is always excellent, when I accompanied my significant other to get the first passport all those years ago in Sri Ayuddhaya road in the heart of Bangkok, and at Chaeng Wattana and Central Bangna... The staff seem to treat people with respect compared to most other government types in Amphur office.. even the endless queue of bargirls getting their passports in Pattaya didn't seem to break their spirit either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSVANPELT Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Its definitely still open i walked by it not more then 30 minutes ago. Ground floor level at the Avenue Mall, towards the rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked around at the MFA passport info and cannot see anything there. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) ?? You quoted my off-topic story (sorry for that). "Berlin:", nothing to do with Thailand. Just to show how bad the situation can be in a "western" country. I am not aware that you need an appointment for the Pattaya passport office. I hope someone can confirm.

longball53098 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Ok now I see,,,,dahhhhhhhhhhhh! Some friend of my wife told her that it was necessary to make appointments at the Pattaya office but I am only getting this 3rd or 4th hand so maybe not so accurate. Every MFA web site I read re: Thai passports makes not mention of any appointment system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lor Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 You can just turn up but there is a notice outside the office recommending you make an appointment by Internet. But my girlfriend said there was no info on how to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longball53098 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 And the question remains. How would someone book an appointment online? I guess you must go there and enter the office and wait to ask someone how to do it. Anyone out there ever made an appointment for their Thai spouse/GF?
