Hi,

Anyone in Wales (u.k) know if the thai consulate in Cardiff is still operating? Have tried ringing on the number they supplied ( invalid number) also tried the email address but it was sent back ( couldn't be delivered). I have used them before and know it was appointments only,so I can't just rock up!

TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Thai consulate in Cardiff has been closed for some time, as most consulates handling visa matters now use the eVisa system. Users report that visa services are now primarily online, and consulates are no longer accepting appointments for foreigners. People in the community also mention that other consulates in the UK, such as those in Hull and Liverpool, have shut down, directing expats to seek services from the embassy in London.

All visa matters are now handled through the evisa system. Most, if not all consulates in foreign countries that have adopted evisa have been closed, and the ones that haven't only offer services to Thai citizens now and have nothing to do with foreigners. You cannot enter the property of a Thai embassy or consulate, everything is done online.
