Dear Applicants,
Due to extreme weather conditions and heavy rainfall, certain areas of Thailand have been affected by drastic floods. Our intake center at Ayutthaya is in these affected areas and hence has to be closed due to water clogging.
However, our Visa Application Centre in Bangkok and our other Intake Centres are open and accepting applications.
You may submit your visa applications at these offices. We regret the inconvenience caused to you.
