PhuketSarah Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Any ideas on how to get the Phuket Income Affadavit form ? Consulate is no longer taking calls, no longer posting detailed info on the web site or answering email. The STEP was a 30 minute exercise in frustration which kept telling me to fill out my email but gave no place to do it This page provides affidavits for Chiang Mai and Bangkok only https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/local-resources-of-u-s-citizens/notaries-public/income-affidavit/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
