Your question seems to be - Could HM Passport Office refuse to issue you with a renewed passport as an overseas citizen because of an overstay - thats a possibility.... (but not an answer I know)

But if they do refuse your existing Passport remains valid until expiry (and in your posession), so its still possible to fly out of Thailand, deal with the overstay at the airport and accept the ban etc.

 

The risk is someone from VFS checks the stamps and reports you (VFS is who the British Embassy outsource their Passport renewal to).

 

 

 

 

Follow on question: 

Are you attempting to 'renew' your passport under the assumption that this will clear an overstay ? - it won't Immigration have digital records and will tie any new passport into existing records through biometrics. 

 

 

Options:

1) Pay through the nose to an agent to clear the Overstay (risky and I don't even know if this is possible but guess it is if you find the right agent). 

2) Take the hit, fly out, pay the fine, accept the ban, return legally (any new passport will still be tied to the old one and information linked)

 

 

 

 

As I wrote I am not English. 

I don't want renew it to clear the overstay, but I must be here few more weeks to comply with some things to do and after fly out, get the ban and good bye Thailand. I no want renew it for clear my overstay. My time here is done forever, I just need it for few things to do.

Don't think so, why would they as you are here illegally?

Just ask. I though that an Embassy has nothing to do with your status here. It's not their concern, I though. I can understand the UK Embassy has they don't do anymore and they use an outsource company.

A passport is near the expire and need to be renewed as there are some issues to set up before fly back, pay the fine and be banned.

Will the Embassy renew it while in overstay? I know UK embassy will not do, but  not English.

Is not a right for anyone to have a new passport, no matter how is his/her status in the host country?

Has anyone used western union lately? What do I have to do to collect money sent to me from Germany? Can I also collect money at a post office? Thank you

There is a moment in everyone's life that you hope will happen as late as possible: it happened to me yesterday. My dad said goodbye to us after a short illness that debilitated him and made him unrecognizable.

But the thing that is killing me inside is that, 99% , I won't be able to fly to France for the funeral because I'm facing a civil case here in Thailand and the court has kept my passport.

I really don't know what to do, even though I have no choice but to stay and go see him when it's all over.

R.I.P. Dad.
