Anyway Gents (and ladies), Thanks for the feedback, Good news the Passport was processed 3pm on Monday in Phuket at Central, Sent out by EMS on Tuesday Arrived at our home in Phuket Wednesday 3pm Super service for 1,040 thb ! Cheers BBJ

He entered Thailand on an expired passport, if it is "illegal", it is allowed! No Custody dispute now, I have had Full Parental Control of both my kids for many years (and their Mother lives in Aus.) Anyway no worries now, Passport Office at Central Phuket, the staff there are super nice and helpful, processed his passport yesterday, they think it should arrive this Friday which gives us 4-5 clear working days before the flight.

In Phuket or Bangkok ? We're heading to Passport Office now in Phuket...

Yeh he's 17 currently ...

Great thanks, yeh I'll ask tomorrow when applying for the Passport, Ps We're in Phuket...

Noted Thanks...

Where did your wife get her Emergency Travel Doc ? Was it locally or Bangkok ? Many thanks...

Actually I'm sort of answering my own Question here BUT .... 10 years ago My Ex decided to keep my son's Thai passport and not renew my daughters Thai Passport. The kids were living with me so I though I'd test the waters and flew with my son to KL and back the next day on his British Passport, Phuket Airport Immigration weren't happy but allowed it. I did the same the next month with my daughter. So after that they were technically here on British Passports and I got them one year Ed Visas. (When I got Sole Parental Control a few months later I then renewed their Thai passports and they've used them to enter/leave Thailand ever since). Hence I think I'll push/pay for fast EMS post back with the passport from Phuket. Plan B Emergency travel doc but not sure if one can get in Phuket, Plan C head to Phuket Airport and ask Immigration if my son can leave on his British passport....! Plan D delay UK flights... And put a reminder for 5 year time for new Thai passport for son !

Yeh thats a great idea, never though of that, we'll process the Thai passport tomorrow and also check about if/where we can get his Emergency Travel doc. Many thanks...

GULP Thanks !

He's also a British citizen...

Yeh they never asked if he had a 2nd passport and he was on his 3rd flight over 24 hours so a bit jaded ...

Yes we are getting a new one... the question was can he leave on his British Passport IF the new Thai passport doesn't arrive in time... (London Flights and Hotels already booked)

Noted Thanks ....(but we're in Phuket currently)

Noted Thanks....
