    The British Embassy - Bangkok - Thank You for NOTHING!

    This place needs shutting down, it is a disgrace!

    Forgive me if I am wrong but I thought the point of an embassy was to assist it's citizens abroad??? Am I missing something?

    I sent them a simple E mail requesting a bit of a guide as to where to send my son's Thai passport (a new one - the old one is due to expire) to renew his Right of Abode Certificate which he already has in his current passport.

    Last time was simple, and free, except for the post.

    They usually want evidence of citizenship - no problem, he has a British passport too, along with a British birth certificate.

    The reply from the British embassy in Bangkok initially comes back as a sort of "Fuck Off" it is an automated message telling you to go and check various websites and see if your problem is covered there - i. e. The lazy SHITS cannot even be bothered to read your e mail, they hope you simply don't bother to try again.

    To try again, you have to add " RESEND" in your subject line, else your message is confined to garbage and these worthless shits will not reply.

    Anyway, after a while, a worthless shit eventually replied, telling me in it's most worthless script, that it was unable to help me, and that I needed to contact the UK Border Patrol or Texas fucking Rangers or whatever other useless bunch of incompetent CUNTS, you know... the people that go around deporting Chinese people for working hard in a takeaway and NOT claiming benefits!

    Well, I looked up the worthless piece of Shit's link to the Border Patrol Site...and guess what, the worthless piece of SHIT (Marisa Vorapruk- of the passport and consular division) had in fact given me totally crap advice!

    If you follow Marisas' link to the Homeland Idiocracy site, it tells you that you need to apply at an embassy in your country - i.e. Thailand! to apply for the Right of Abode.

    I feel a bit pissed off about Marisa, it pisses me off that Marisa is being paid out of our taxes, it pisses me off that Marisa is an incompetent TWAT, in fact I am totally pissed of at Marisa, and the British Embassy for employing incompetent CUNTS like this.

    (In the meantime - I discovered the British consul LIED - in Chiang Mai - They told me that in order to obtain a British passport for my son I needed to have a British birth certificate - lies!!!! You only need a translated certified copy of the Thai birth cert - so go save yourselves 8500 Baht there too)

    Anyway, I tried to get Marisa to send me contact details for the British Ambassador, they still haven't arrived but in the meantime I did a bit of searching, I thought it would probably take a glass of G'n'T to get through to Quentin the arse bandit, but it seems he has been replaced by a far sturdier figure that represents St. George and good old Blighty..... Mr. Asif Anwar Ahmad!!!

    Am I at the wrong Embassy --- Is it Dubai or the Emirates? Or does he own fucking Harrods!

    The UK is a fucking disgrace!

    I'm a little confused here.

    First of all you say :

    " They usually want evidence of citizenship - no problem, he has a British passport too, along with a British birth certificate."

    Later you say

    " (In the meantime - I discovered the British consul LIED - in Chiang Mai - They told me that in order to obtain a British passport for my son I needed to have a British birth certificate - lies!!!! You only need a translated certified copy of the Thai birth cert - so go save yourselves 8500 Baht there too)"

    So the question is - does your son have a British Passport?

    If he has, there is absolutely no need for a "Right of Abode" sticker in his Thai Passport.

    It is ilegal for anyone with a UK Passport and a non UK passport to have UK visas in a non UK passport.

    After figuring that out I gave up reading the above diatribe........boring

    "It is ilegal for anyone with a UK Passport and a non UK passport to have UK visas in a non UK passport."

    That makes no sense to me at all, nor to anyone else I suspect.

    Firstly I think you need to buy a dictionary and look up the definition of “Diatribe”, I am merely offering informed advice.

    So, to try to put it in words of one syllable and thus make it easier for you to understand and hopefully reply to sensibly :

    Does your son have a British Passport (sorry two syllables there so let's call it – Brit ish Pass Port)?

    If so, as I already explained, he does not need a “Right of Abode” sticker in his Thai Passport.

    Well the first thing I would do is change the lads name from "smallcock" to something a bit more hi-so, like smith.

    probably thought it was a wind up

    ^^ I wasn't referring to you Patrick..... I was agreeing with your statement and adding that it is in fact illegal to apply for visas in a second passport when one is in possession of a UK passport.

    Feel better now petal?

    Too bad you are not an American, one taste of our Embassy and you would be proud of yours.

    On my first visit I only went for information on a topic and the first thing out of the ladies mouth was... What did you do to get in trouble ?

    I'll go along with that. I had dealings with her where she cocked up. She's good at trying to confuse you with bullshit and never answers questions when asked, other than to go into a rehearsed spiel.
    Why don't you submit a complaint ? There is a procedure available on the Embassy website.

    Do people like Patrick actually exist? How sad...

    The OP is frustrated and may not be best explaining himself; the British Embassy can drive you insane; you need to remember that it's a badly run and arrogant business, we are forced to use it and they know so. The notion that they are there to help us is plain ridiculous.

    OK I will accept that you were not referring to my Post - however to avoid confusion it would have been better not to Quote it in your Post.

    Understand - petal?

    I've had nothing but excellent service from the American embassy in Bangkok- both on the phone and in person.

    Take it easy old cock - you'll give yourself a seizure.

    I was merely suggesting you try to learn how to use the "Quote" function properly to avoid confusion.

    You might also attempt to avoid using vulgar language in your Posts - it merely demonstrates a low level of education and paucity of vocabulary.

    I know exactly how to use the quote function and I used it to quote what I wanted to quote.

    Do TRY to keep on Topic dear girl.

    My response to the OP was quite correct - if his son has a British Passport there is no need for a Right of Abode sticker in his Thai Passport.

    Got that?

    Embassy staff, what a life they have?
    about 15 yrs ago i met a pommy bint in Singapore, she was living with her female friend who worked at the embassy.
    Her friend was a right blood hound but I must admit I had thoughts about my poor initial career choice after I saw the lifestyle these slags at the Brit embassy had. Pool, tennis courts nightly piss up at their social club with super cheap booze and other benefits.
    The bird that was employed at the Embassy as a jobsworth was living in a full sized house in the Goldhill area, AC on 24 /7 even when she was away at work all day.

    A bunch of wasters.
    There can’t be good living where there is not good drinking

    OP,

    Have you phone and actually talked to Marisa? People get so tied up with 3G, i-phones and instant everything that they think everyone else is as well.

    Passports are no longer issued by the Embassy in Bangkok so there is no passport section. Visas in Thailand and Hong Kong are issued by the Home Office aka Border Protection Agency not Embassy staff. Maybe there is some one in London/Hong Kong wherever who will answer an email? If they get as many emails as they do visa applicants see below no wonder there service is less than exemplary.

    Has to be a terrible place to work all the Man. Utd look-alike supporters in their wife beater shirts, shorts and thongs trying to get a visa for their pregnant Thai slapper to go to UK. (Man Utd was used for effect not for realism)

    Have you looked at this? UK Border Agency | Completing the NTL or TOC application form for transfer of a visa

    Says you have to be in UK to do it?
    Better to think inside the pub, than outside the box?
    I apologize if any offence was caused. unless it was intended.
    You people, you think I know feck nothing; I tell you: I know feck all

    Never. But not quite sure what a "phyciatrist" is either.

    He doesn't need any certificates issued by the British authorities in his Thai passport.
