Yeah, i'm sure the ATO will understand that I didn't file my SMSF annual report on time because the Consular 'outreach program' was not in town to rubber stamp my passport scan as a 'certified copy' on the day my accountant sent it...

Even as westerners leave their home countries in droves as financial refuseniks of their own government's anti-boomer pension policies, the zombies are scaling back on the services we are still obliged to use, to stop being gouged 45% of our pensions for being 'non-compliant non-residents'.

Such cruel irony.

Just got this friendly email from my government.

Latest advice, 25 May 2016

The Australian Consulate in Chiang Mai is closed until further notice. For passport and consular services, please contact the Australian Embassy in Bangkok (see Where to get help). This advice also contains information about commercial surrogacy, which is illegal in Thailand (see Laws). The level of advice has not changed. We continue to advise Australians to exercise a high degree of caution in Thailand. Higher levels apply in some parts of the country.

What the!!

I received an email from Smartravvellor about this

We have just started to have the Embassy come up to Chiang Mai

Seeing they closes the San Sai Outreach

I would not say it was a full consulate as it was a volunteer position

Are they stopping it already

Anyone heard about this ??
