My name is Pimpat and for the last two years, before it closed, I was the last and only direct employee of the Royal Thai Honorary-Consulate Amsterdam. I have not written this message with the intention of humiliating or condemning in any way Mr. Richard Ruijgrok, former consul. I only want to share my own experience based on factual information during my employment with the RTCG.
I am looking for reliable information about the sudden closure of the Thai Consulate in Amsterdam. A buddy of mine is now in NL and lives in 020 but had to go to The Hague for his visa.

After 12 years and 50+ entries in Thailand on a visa exemption, I now want to apply for a Non immigrant O visa for the first time. My question: Are there any differences between the Thai Embassy in The Hague or the consulate in Amsterdam? The websites are different and I wonder what the experiences are like per location?

Reader submission: Apply for a 90-day non-immigrant visa at the Consulate in Amsterdam
Applying for a visa for Thailand is not going to be easy. Since 2009 never a problem with two different passport photos, last year even one was sufficient. Need two identical passport photos this year. Furthermore, never had to submit a copy of the marriage certificate, which is logical because the wife of the woman is mentioned in the passport of the lady. This time it is, so with lightning speed to the town hall. Fortunately we got married in Naarden and we didn't have to go to Leeuwarden. We live in France, where the marriage certificate is also located.
Is the Thai consulate in Amsterdam no longer located on the Herengracht? I want to apply for a 90 day visa and I would like to download an application form. The website has also been unavailable for days.
