Important Notice for Persons Seeking Extra Passport Pages:

We often experience crowds of over 150 persons during our outreach trips to Pattaya. Inserting passport pages requires us to conduct a computer check on your passport beforehand. If you plan to request extra visa pages during our visit, we ask you to either fax a copy of the bio/photo page of your passport along with your Social Security Number to 02-205-4103. Send the fax attention: Pattaya Outreach, Extra Visa Pages. Or e-mail your passport information and social security number to [email protected] and write Pattaya Outreach, Extra Visa Pages in the subject line. If e-mailing, please provide your name as written in your passport, your date and place of birth, our current passport number, and your social security number. Please send this information at least two days before our visit. Doing so will allow us to provide you with faster and more efficient service.
