I have a retirement visa, and my passport expires in 3 months. I wonder why I have to wait 4-5 weeks for my new passport at the embassy when my old passport expires, I assume they have a whole pile of blank ones in the cupboard? Does anyone know how this protocol works internally? Is your old passport or copy perhaps being sent back to the municipality in the Netherlands that issued it for verification and is that why it takes so much time?
The Dutch Embassy is organizing two activities in Chiang Mai on Thursday, November 23, a Meet & Greet/Reception with Ambassador HE Remco van Wijngaarden.

My question to the embassy: I want to send the application for visa support letter from the Netherlands, so that I have it when I arrive in Thailand. But then I can't stick a Thai stamp on the return envelope. If I enclose an additional 100 Thai baht note, can you frank the return envelope for me?

The residence of the Dutch ambassador in Thailand
Amidst Bangkok's imposing urbanism – the glass buildings, the dusty construction sites, the concrete skytrain that cuts through Sukhumvit – Wittayu Road seems a curious exception. A huge stretch of the road is leafy and green, marking the hallowed grounds of historic embassies and residences in Bangkok. Wittayu (Wireless) is named after Thailand's first radio broadcasting station, but it might as well be called Thailand's 'Embassy Row'. One of these embassies belongs to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
