UK Passport renewal and Extension of Stay
OJAS replied to Mark79's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Preferably should be done by the time of your next 90-day report if that is sooner IMHO. You might well get away with using your previous and now cancelled passport if submitting a report online or by snail mail - but, if you need to report in person for whatever reason, your local office will probably insist on the stamps transfer process taking place at the same time. -
Might they also, for good measure, require a 12-month bank statement to be obtained on the date of your retirement extension application and include a nominal transaction of, say, 100 THB performed on this date? If so, this requirement would be impossible to comply with in practice where the 800k balance is held in a Bangkok Bank account, in view of their inability to provide 12-month statements on the spot!

IMHO the OP needs to start making monthly 65k transfers at the earliest opportunity after his latest extension has been granted with the aim of ensuring that 12 such transfers are in place by the time of his 2023 extension application. That would be better safe than sorry, I think!

Yesterday's debate in the House of Commons about this "august" body might be worth a listen (please note that it lasts an hour, though). Sounds like the whole UK passport renewal process is just as much of a bloody shambles back in the UK as it is here in Thailand at the present time! House_of_Commons_27-04-22_12-40-00.mp4
