The Consulate in Hua Hin will become vacant starting January 15, 2025, following the tragic passing of Honorary Consul Vajaravudh Sukseree. Consequently, the consulate cannot provide consular services until a new honorary consul takes office.
In response to this situation, the Embassy of Sweden advises Swedish citizens in need of consular support to contact them in Bangkok during this interim period. The embassy offers the following clarifications:
- The embassy in Bangkok will issue new passports. Individuals who have already applied for a passport and received notification to collect it at the consulate in Hua Hin can still do so.
- The embassy will manage all inquiries regarding certificates for now.
- For any other questions or needs related to consular services, individuals should reach out directly to the embassy.
The embassy extends its condolences on the passing of Honorary Consul Sukseree and appreciates the community’s understanding during this transition.
For further information, contact the Embassy of Sweden in Bangkok.
