ACS Outreach

[jingjai]

Yes! Thank-You ACS.
With the money I saved by not having to go to BKK or C.M., I made a quick stop at Villa for a thick steak, and a good bottle Single Malt Whisky.

A lot of people didn't know about the time change. They didn't receive an E mail because they didn't register with the Embassy. If you haven't it could be important to do so.

Sometimes the US Embassy has other business other than the Outreach at a specific location. This might explain their time schedule.

Khon Kaen Outreach tomorrow, 12 pm.

Another successful Outreach in KK. 88 customers were served. Service started at 11 am and finished after 2 pm. Thank you ACS for a job well done.

Agree! The ACS visits are a major bennie for those of us who'd prefer not to go to Bangkok.

The embassy is encouraging citizens to renew their passports by mail. A friend of ours recently renewed his......mailed in the old and got the new in about 2.5 weeks. Pretty simple process!
I'd guess half or so of the people in KK yesterday were there to renew their passports. https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-se ... ult-renew/

[mak]

I agree. Renewing your passport by mail is a simple process. I did mine in March. Returned in less than 3 weeks.

It's actually easier than turning in all the required paperwork to ACS when they come to town because there's no waiting to meet with the ACS folks.

Move to Nong Khai. They don't accept silly Embassy affidavits. It's like a special "Laws-Don't-Apply-Here" zone. I think the Tourism Authority of Nong Khai should begin a campaign to attract tourism: Our filthy farang visitors are WAY better than Udon and Loei's filthy farang visitors.

And we can prove it!

Amazing Thailand.

Hi; I was there in April. They took mine. Not a problem. A little bit slow though.

I'm not surprised at either one of your experiences. The most consistent thing in many areas of Thailand is INconsistency. What happens for you or me or someone else yesterday or today, may not happen for any one of us or someone else tomorrow.

Glad to see that they still begin earlier than scheduled. That has happened both times that I have gone to Khon Kaen for the outreach.
