Consular staff will be available to provide services on:
Tuesday, March 6, 2012 from 8:00 to 12:00 at the Centara

This includes income affidavits for retirees in Thailand.

prepaid Thailand Post envelopes that you can buy from us (at cost) if
you wish us have us mail your passport back to you. Alternatively, you
can pick up your passport at the Embassy. You can also have a friend
pick up your passport at the Embassy by providing the friend written
authorization to present to us.

your question at the outreach, we will send you a response later.

Anyone receive the notification of the consular visit to KK on Thursday past? I did not, when normally I do.

[jimboLV]

Mak I got two email notices. One on 1 June and one on 6 June. Maybe one of them was meant for you?

I went to the last one in Ubon Ratchathani last February, and have gone to the ones in Udon, but never to KK. They seem to be pretty spotty, sometimes I get notices and sometimes don't, that's why it's good to check the embassy website.

I (in the past) have received notifications of pending visits, but received none for the KK visit.
