How could there not be, if the passport is expiring? The OP has no choice but to go back to UK, where at least he has the benefit of applying online and getting a new passport in a lot less than 11 weeks. Then he has to start the process of establishing his status in Thailand all over again....

You are right, of course if his passport is expiring so is any existing right to stay........evidently not aware of any of this. 

You make no mention of any impending visa extensions, so go ahead

with the renewal, which I assume, with the 11-week wait time, is for a

British Passport.

You will retain your old passport intact until the new one comes through,

so will still be good for ID and 90-day reports.

Amazed as ever, that folks get 10 years notice of the expiry date of their

passport yet still.....

Ah, time to come home to a real fire.....our household at 8am this morning.

Think Korat getting more picky. Had the same

"notification of aliens address" slip in my passport 

for the last five years. When doing my recent 

extension the document checker had a small 

seizure saying the slip needed to be updated,

so, like you, was duly dispatched to Room 101.

The "update", with exactly the same information

actually took longer to process than my extension.

On the edge front page click the cog wheel in the top right corner, select advanced, then select the language you prefer.

We have lift off.........many thanks

Thanks, have done that, but it comes up with

"order language according to your preference"

but does not seem to allow me to actually reset

For some reason my Microsoft Edge start page has suddenly switched

from English to Thai.......can't figure out how to recover.

Korat has always reset 90-day report to start with your latest extension.

Did my last 90-day report in Feb using the new system and only given

30 days until my extension renewal was due in March at which time was

issued with a new full 90-day report date.

It's a Korat thing, they always reset your 90-day reporting date 

when you do an extension renewal. 

Think the op is only talking about his 90-days expiring, so he has 

another seven days to take care of it.......ah rain if only.

Honestly just use an agent to deal with everything. It's worth it.

What can possibly go wrong.......

You may find this link useful.

They want proof of address in English. 

Do you have any formal type mail you have received from UK 

or labels from Lazada deliveries., the more you can show the better.

More likely that VFS global caused a delay over the festive season!

My money is on the agent messing up. My recent experience with VFS 

was of a super polite and professional set-up. Docs checked and

immediately placed and sealed in a DHL envelope, payment deducted

in the UK about three days later.

Completely upfront about an expected 10 week wait(came back in eight),

so am sure they would have been equally honest about holding back on

dispatch of docs until New Year.

OP - via an agent otherwise it means me traveling to Bangkok and the risks with COVID and having to spend hours in a bus or train

The agent says that VFS is a cause known only to itself.

The truth is finally out, your "agent" will be holding your original passport,

Check your credit card account and you will see when payment for the

new passport was taken, usually a couple of days after receipt of the

application in the UK

Find it incredulous that VFS say they only sent passport on Jan 16,

itself a rather spurious date given this was a Sunday. As Joe asked,

did you apply in person or via an agent

Thanks for the response guys, am now told that "smoke" is

the perceived go-to shade of white for ceilings. 

Want to touch up my ceiling where the paint has peeled, am convinced

there is a standard off-white to achieve this, seem to remember my builder

said they always used "mushroom white," but this drew a blank at Home Pro,

Have used standard white previously, but this was glaringly bright compared

to the original.

Any suggestions appreciated....
