On May 14, 2024, H.E. Mr. Maris Sangiampongsa, Minister of Foreign Affairs, visited the Phetchaburi Temporary Passport Office at Robinson Phetchaburi, where he was welcomed by Ms. Rungsima Olarikabutr, Chief of the Phetchaburi Temporary Passport Office, and the office’s staff.
The Minister provided policy guidance on people diplomacy, emphasizing the need to continuously improve consular services for the benefit of Thai people to enjoy fast, convenient, and easily accessible service. Consular matters revolve around daily life, which can help boost economic opportunities, promote cross-border trade, and serve the interests of the Thai people. He also highlighted the important role of the Passport Office in collaborating closely with the Phetchaburi Provincial Office and other relevant agencies, as well as in facilitating the private sector, to elevate the well-being of the people in the province and nearby areas, particularly the duty to protect Thai nationals abroad. Proactive outreach efforts are key to raising awareness and alerting the local population not to fall prey to human trafficking schemes or job scams.
In addition, the Minister listened to inputs from passport applicants with a view to improving the Ministry’s consular services and undertaking better strategic foreign policy planning for the benefit of the Thai people.
The Phetchaburi Temporary Passport Office is located in Robinson Phetchaburi, 2nd Floor, and opens from Monday to Friday (except official holidays), from 10:00 to 18:00 hrs.
