Hello all,
My i.d page on my UK passport has an ink stain...it covers some of the numbers at the bottom left of the page. This happened recently. I am travelling to Australia to see my parents on the 5th of April....
I am worried I will be rejected...though my passport numer...photo....date of birth etc is all visible. I called the British Embassy in Bangkok. I asked about getting an emergency travel document. I now understand that this will completely cancel my passport.....with my NON immigrant O visa in it!! I dont understand what will happpen. Please help me with my questions:
1) I will leave Thailand with just a travel document. It is not a passport...What happens to my Thai visa?
2) When I enter back into Thailand I wont have a valid passport. So???
3) what happens to me and my Thai visa status while I wait for a new British passport to be sent??
the guy at the British Embassy told me NOT to cancel the passport till I am sure I know what the Thais expect. My wife is helping me with this...but its all very confusing.
Do I take my chances? I REALLY dont want to risk losing the NON immigrant O visa I recently obtained...it was HARD to get.
Advice please....it would be much appreciated.
....Ok, seems I cannot get a re entry permit with this document. I am confused.
