Dear Pattaya Area American Citizens,

 

The Consular Section of the American Embassy in Bangkok is pleased to inform you of an upcoming Embassy consular visit in Pattaya. Consular staff will be available to provide consular services on Friday, October 27, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Dusit Resort on Pattaya Beach Road near the dolphin circle. The outreach will be held in Dusit Rooms 5 and 6 in the upstairs lobby.

 

The following consular services will be available during the visit:

 

*Passport renewal applications (US $67.00 or baht 2,680 for adult passports – please bring exact change and a copy of your passport photo page)

*Additional passport pages (no charge, but please bring a copy of your passport photo page)

*Notarial services (US $30 or baht 1,200 for the first notarial; US $20 or baht 800 for each additional notarial – please bring exact change). Notarial services include affidavits for retirement and other visas in Thailand, Thai driver’s licenses, and marriage affidavits.

 

*Embassy registration and/or address change

*Absentee ballot application and voting abroad information

*Social security, VA or other federal benefits question

 

NOTE: Due to the large amount of time and paperwork involved, no applications for Consular Reports of Birth will be accepted during consular outreach trips.

 

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 ACSBKK@State.gov 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.

 

If you have any questions, please e-mail: acsbkk@state.gov or call the American Citizen Services Unit at: 02-205-4049.

 

We look forward to seeing you at the Dusit Resort in Pattaya on October 27th.

 

Sincerely,

 

American Citizen Services

No, they don't.

 

There is a consular representative who lives in Pattaya by the name of Barry Kenyon but I have no idea what his responsibilities are.

 

The British Embasssy seems to behave towards its citizens here as though Britain still had an empire. They cold take a number of lessons from the American Embassy when it comes to looking after their ex-pat population.
