Yes you can use an agent in Pattaya to do passport renewal for Oz pp. Be aware that now Australian pp can be renewed via mail to Bangkok embassy. The current pp is not sent with the application which is a bonus. The new pp will be posted to your Pattaya address. My process time was 20 days from posting application till receiving the new pp via mail back to my condo. Here is link to application https://thailand.embassy.gov.au/bkok/Australian_Passports_Page.html#Apply for or renew your passport

First Canada now this. Folk need to be prepared to change to money in bank method if they have not actually been doing the monthly transfers.

As couple have suggested. Use "safe entry" Agent. Contact this mob: https://www.facebook.com/share/1V4UMpb27x/ Should be approx 4500b

No... Annual extension retirement with agent covering financial requirements the fee is ~13-17k

Which border run company. From where. Cost. Pick up service or..?

He has extension from a Non O. Should be no issue to open a bank account. At worst some banks may also want a COR.

OP you do your own count. Entry date is day 1. 89 days later is your due date. Ignore any reminder emails. You need do the report in person

If you have a Non O based on marriage then every 12 months you obtain an extension. Immigration send your papers to head office for approval. That process takes often approx one month. Your travel habits may find that difficult. You also may have home visit.

Yes

I saw that thread. Personally have no first hand experience regards that. On the other hand many posts along the lines .... "I obtained my extension in Phuket and my immigration office in new location is telling me to go back to Phuket to transfer stamps to new pp".... As mentioned chat with agent.

Think you also posted that you have not done TM30 (change of address) however they still would send you to Samui. Transfer of stamps are done at office where they are issued. By way of example I obtain my reentry permits at the airport. When I last transferred stamps to new pp at CW they would not transfer reentry permit... Their comment.... "Go to airport" Contact an agent in Bangkok for advice. Most use Line etc or good old phone call. Try @ThaiVisaCentre

And I posted later..... "As mentioned he can use various agents. He can open a BBL account by himself"

Agree 100%. It woud be so easy for Thailand to state clear rules regarding visa exempt entry. Number etc. Almost seems they want cat and mouse game.

Thats a nonsense. It's all about time spent in Thailand and time between visits If you enter visa exempt via air and then extend by 30 and do quick out/in via air visa exempt then yes you will be questioned. BTW: I wrote "no stated limit" There are other visa options to enter Thailand. I, being Oz cannot even enter Vietnam visa exempt. Nor can USA. Being UK you have visa exempt to Thailand+ eg visa exempt to Vietnam and many other eVisa options such as METV and still complain

Don't follow your thread. Using agent for the guy you quoted is location specific. The prices he stated are typical Pattaya. In fact the 8k+4k my guess is Maneerat. Best to indicate the immigration office that you deal with for helpful advice.

The extension will be granted and have validity of 12 months or till validity of pp. In your example you will have a 12 month extension. Suggest you renew your pp soon after next extension.

Have lost track of your thread. Think you entered Thailand on a Non O obtained from outside of Thailand. Money in bank for applying for 12 months extension does NOT need to be shown to have been transferred from abroad. For folk applying for Non O IN Thailand from visa exempt or tourist visa entry then Yes funds need to be transferred from abroad.

All very weird and have named many countries that do not have this limitations. Granted USA and Canadian pp are mail in with application. Find that surprising. Currently I'm not sure USA even taking appointments for this service. In any event enough. Sweden is not topic of the thread.

And that country requires you to attend embassy for passport renewal in person? Sounds like dark ages to me. I did my renewal online including one mail in application. Walk in park

USA, Canada, AU, etc etc do not require an appointment at embassy to renew pp. Even UK that uses VFS ... you can use an agent. Of course all applications require current photo.

And what country would that be

Current thread on using agent for extension. Cost etc depends on location as does immigration office.

Doesn't make sense. I recently renewed my Oz pp while in Thailand. Oz pp has biometric.. I did it all via mail and online application. The existing pp was not sent with application.
