As of 18 February 2008 the Norwegian Embassy requires that all fees in connection with visa applications (Schengen visa, family reunification, work permit, permit to study etc.) have to be paid through Kasikorn Bank, Sukhumvit 33 (Bangkapi Branch). In case the bank is closed due to banking holidays, and the Embassy is open to receive applications, it will still be possible to pay the fee by cash as previously, but only on banking holidays.

The applicant will get a deposit slip (see scanned copy) by the staff member who is doing the preliminary screening of the documents in the waiting room. After the screening has been performed, and the applicant has been told that all the required documents are present, the applicant has to go down to Kasikorn Bank on the ground floor in order to pay the fee. The applicant has to fill in the name of the payee on the deposit slip. The Embassy has already filled out the amount of the fee. The applicant has to return back to the Embassy on the 18th floor on the same day to submit the application immediately after the fee has been paid in Kasikorn Bank. It will not be possible to pay through any other bank, or any other branch of Kasikorn Bank, and the payment has to be done with the deposit slip given by the embassy staff.
