November 8, 20169 yr Anyone know how to get statement of income now that Australian consulate has closed? What does immigration need time wise?
November 8, 20169 yr You can get a Stat Dec at the next Outreach visit. Details below. Got one myself at last visit at end of October. Quite a few were getting them and theyy are accepted by Immigration. Search this forum and it has been mentioned a few times. They have blank Stat Decs on hand or you can get embassy to email you on and complete and take it to be signed/witnessed/sealed. Cost was 500Baht. Easy as, cheap as, quick as........ Consular Outreach Visits The Consular Section of the Australian Embassy in Bangkok will be undertaking the following consular outreach visit in Chiang Mai at: Le Méridien Chiang Mai108 Chang Klan RoadTambol Chang Klan, Amphur MuangChiang Mai 50100 ThailandT +66 (0)53 253 666 The next outreach visit will take place between 9.00am to 12.00pm and 1.00pm to 3.00pm on the following day: Friday 9 December 2016 (VIP Lounge) During the outreach visit, we will provide the following services: * Passport applications (please ensure you bring all original documents and a photocopy of each document with you) * Notarial services * Statutory declarations for marriage, retirement visas and driving licence renewals * Witnessing documents * Certified true copies of documents (please ensure you bring the original and a photocopy of each document with you) As fees are payable in cash only, please bring the right change with you. Please contact the Consular section on 02 344 6300 or email [email protected] prior to your visit if you require further details and/or to confirm fees payable.
November 9, 20169 yr Please, oh please. Can everyone get on the bandwagon: Write a submission to AU DFAT about Consular Services provided by Au Embassy Bangkok. I have fired my email in & had acknowledgement. It's going to take numbers to get OUR Embassy to follow the UK Embassy practices I.e. Letter of Income.

A big NO for me unlesss you can guarrantee that the Outreach Service that does so much more than the Letter of Income will not be affected. I would hate to se the existing (and more than adequate) service reduced, particularly when it does so much more than the "Letter of Income". I am more than happy with the Outreach Service and the provision of a Stat Dec for income. Local CM Immigration accept this no problems. I would encourage all those that use the servicce, and those expecting to use the service on the next visit in December to convey on any psoitive or indeed negative feedback to the consular staff in attendance. Every service they do is considerably cheaper than making the trip to Bangkok and to me, we should encourage this type of service.
November 9, 20169 yr Just now, DUNROAMIN said: Australian consulate closed down where?????? This being the Chiang Mai forum kinda gives a pretty solid clue as to where.
November 9, 20169 yr There was no consulate per se in Chiang Mai...there was an Honorary Consul (Mike) who had limited consular operations run from his private business. Mike has not done the role for I guess over a year now. The Hon Consul has limited (by Australian legislattion) powers as far as Stat Decs are concerned. There is a new designated Hon Consul but has not had his confirmation given the passing of the King. The new HOn Consul was at the last outreach visit and no doubt will be at the next. Perhpas we may get an idea as to what he may do and where he is located etc after his formal appointment.

November 9, 20169 yr If people actually took the time to keep informed, as most of us Aussies do That this Australian Embassy services has been coming up here for most of this year it does provide a good service i believe that the Thai Government will not allow most Consulates to sign official paperwork With the exception of the American Embassy here in Chiang Mai Maybe because there so many Americans living here That is why the Australian Embassy Does come up To Chiang Mai

Other official Consulates can offer the same services.
