Hope you all might notice how to extend your passport if you are in abroad. And i am sure you know how to deal with Burmese staff at Embassy. I won't say what to do with them but go and see.

Here is just to share only some process in Bangkok since i can not mention everything in detail. I wish i could show you some photos of the staff and people around there. How they deal with their own people, how can you solve your problems in short cut way, how to smile with them and etc...

There are some people like you and can make friend to share some info. But there also some people that you have to avoid... :P Otherwise, make sure that you have enough money. :)

But no worry much! If you are a student, make sure that you bring "Student Certificate" from your University. When you arrive at Embassy, just go straight to office counter and ask Passport extention form. Be nice!...

Fill out quickly as it's not so completed and better submit before lunch (Noon). Otherwise, it may take to another day. Make sure that you submit application form with one photo (passport size) and attach "Student Certificate".

Officer will check your application for a while and say "Ok" if you don't have any special case OR problem, and ask you to wait for a while and he will call your name. But be ready to go out for lunch! Otherwise, you will miss your lunch for that day... :P If you can submit early, it may be another story to get before lunch. But very less assure!

Don't forget to move around in front of counter and show your face to officer. Otherwise, you may be forgotten. You may also ask at least once but not often!

If you are with work permit visa, then pay first all taxes. No way to do without this. Officer will stamp for another 3 yrs and cost 4,000 Baht. To change new passport book, it cost 10,000 Baht to one of my friends.

Oh... That's not easy to post my blog very often like in the previous time. I won't give it lots of reason to do so. But still hard to handle.

Well, if you are here in Bangkok as a student, you will need to bring along student status certificate whenever you go to government office or other company industry. It's a good thing to share how the process is.

But let me share based on my experience now as i am waithing in front of registration office to get it. They have a form to fill whether Urgent OR Normal. If you request Urgent, you have to pay 150 Baht and 50 Baht if it's normal.

I need Urgent now as i am going to extend my passport before noon. I just fill the form and a young staff lady ask me if i can come back around 11 befornoon. Then i say "No... If possible, i'd like to get it now and continue to Embassy"

And she says "How about 10 am", i still say "NO", and ask "9:30am?"
Then, she approaches to her senior staff, back to me and says "we need 1 hr to finish"

Just a simple question comes to my mind and ask her "I need Urgent, and it's only a sealed of Papper and why it takes one hr"..... "Who is your director" and she says "U...".. then i ask again "Can i meet with him since it's Urgent".... and they do me a favor to be faster NOW...Let me ask them if i can get NOW. I will let you know what's going at Embassy... C U!
