Warden Message – Consular outreach on July 18, 2008 in Pattaya 

Dear Pattaya Area American Citizens,

The Consular Section of the American Embassy in Bangkok is pleased to inform you of a consular outreach visit to Pattaya in two weeks.  Please come if you can! 

Consular staff will be available to provide consular services at the following date and location:

Friday, July 18, 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Dusit Thani Hotel in Pattaya.  Please look for signs in the hotel lobby pointing to the location of the outreach.

The following consular services will be available during our outreach visits:

• Passport renewal applications ($75.00 or Baht 2550 for adult passports, and $85 or Baht 2890 for a child’s passport)
• Notarial Services and Certified Copies ($30.00 or Baht 1020)
• Absentee ballot application and voting abroad information
• Social security, VA or other federal benefits question will be limited, but we will try to provide forms and answers
  
  (Please bring exact change!)

NOTE:  Unfortunately, we cannot process extra visa pages during our outreach trips.  We can accept applications, but the passports will have to be brought back to the Embassy for final processing the next day.  The passports will then have to be picked up in person (or by a friend upon presentation of a letter of authorization signed by the applicant) at the Embassy.  We regret any inconvenience caused by this change in procedure, and we are still working on gaining authorization to begin mailing passports back to applicants. 
Additionally, Consular Reports of Birth cannot be processed during consular outreach trips.

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 in Pattaya on July 18th.
