British Embassy, Proof of Address

[boilface]

I've got this letter many times from the embassy in Bangkok, but it seems now they have changed and may require an appointment.

Do I need an appointment for such a letter, or can I just turn up as before? It's not listed as a service on their website.

If I do need an appointment, what section should I book under?

[Expattaff1308]

Give them a call and ask - 023058333

[harrry]

I understand you are now expected to do this by mail.

[ubonjoe]

I am sure you will need to make an appointment. I think it falls under oaths, affirmations and affidavits.

[Jip99]

You need an appointment for anything - best not risk just turning up.

[Phatcharanan]

It does indeed fall under 'Oaths' etc".

I have my appointment for Tuesday at 8.30 am.

Really, you need an appointment to make an oath at the British Embassy? Unscheduled strong language about British consular services has, in the past, sometimes seemed appropriate.

Perhaps not if you look at this:

17,000 British nationals abroad supported by Foreign Office last year

I believe that our American cousins have, for some considerable time, had to make appointments to visit their Embassy!
