UK embassy changes notarial services
Published: 8 Nov 2013 at 11.47Online news:
The British embassy has announced that its honorary consuls in Phuket and Koh Samui will no longer provide any notarial services, such as income verification letters for immigration purposes.

British citizens requiring official documentation must now deal with the British embassy in Bangkok, Pattaya Today reported.
A spokesman said that 70% of the notarial work in Phuket and Koh Samui was the provision of income letters and these could be applied for by post and did not require a special journey to the capital.
The embassy claims that it is rationalising services in order to concentrate resources where they are best needed, for example, assistance for British nationals in distress.

In Pattaya, where no notarial services have been offered since late 2012, it was now optional whether British citizens obtained their income verification letters from the British embassy in Bangkok or from the consulates of other countries in the resort, the report said.
In a statement, the British embassy said it was concerned about a potential loss of income if other consulates assumed responsibility, subject to agreement by the Thai Immigration Bureau.
It is not known whether the embassy is telling its nationals the same thing in Phuket and Koh Samui, the report said.
