Activating a new UK bank debit card
Upnotover replied to Guderian's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Are you 100% sure it wont work (besides contactless) when it arrives? From Barclays UK website; I’ve ordered a replacement card, do I need to do anything when it arrives? You don’t need to activate your new debit card when you receive it – it’ll be ready to use straightaway. If you want to make a contactless payment, you’ll need to do a chip-and-PIN transaction first. -
Many countries would physically cancel the old passport by cutting corners, hole-punching or stamping it as cancelled. If this is not the case for you then immigration will have no idea the old passport is cancelled/replaced when you depart and will just stamp you out, just don't show them the new passport. If you return you will of course have to re-start the visa/extension process but that would be the case anyway even if you transferred your current extension, unless you managed to renew it before you exit.

visa.vfsglobpal.com/thailand/
Upnotover replied to SidJames's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
Clearly "vfsglobpal" is never going to work but even corrected it seems out of date. Try here; https://visa.vfsglobal.com/tha/en/gbr/ -
Yes, it's the first page of an actual application rather than just looking at the information pages, which as far as I can see do not mention the multiple entry option.

Current advice in the UK, takes a while even if you pretend to be there (and TNT doesn't lose it once issued). https://www.gov.uk/government/news/allow-up-to-ten-weeks-to-apply-for-a-british-passport

As mentioned on the US Embassy website, you may need a certified copy of your passport, depending upon the wishes of the Amphur in question. As for the choice of Amphur it can be anywhere, doesn't have to be where you live or come from. However, best check in advance that they are willing to marry aliens as in these times of COVID fear things are not always what they were.

As with most things in Thailand the easiness is a variable dependent upon the location of the Amphur, the person you are speaking to, the phase of the moon, etc. However, it is not beyond most people to accomplish it. Best place to start is the website of the Embassy of your country, you will certainly have to interact with them to some degree so may as well start there. In case you are from USA, for example, try here; https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/local-resources-of-u-s-citizens/getting-married-in-thailand/

Excellent idea. Except see post 3;

Time to go home and get a new one, on the bright side it's springtime and the weather should be fine. The embassy could give you an ETD, Emergency Travel Document, but that is only good for travel after your passport expires, not for hanging around in Thailand waiting for a new one to arrive. Presumably you also have permission to stay issues as well?

Replacing an Australian death certificate
Upnotover replied to poppysdad's topic in Australia & Oceania Topics and Events
Did she actually try applying for a replacement/copy? As an example the first page of the WA application asks for your personal details including telephone Country Code and Country address. No suggestion of applications only welcome from Australians in Australia. -
Maybe this lot could help; https://www.shadowmakerasia.com/contact-us/

VFS Bangkok Wait Time for New Passport (UK)?
Upnotover replied to MuffinMan1's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
Gov.UK says allow up to 11 weeks, likely it would be quicker than that but probably best not to plan any travels for that time. -

UK Passport Renewal in Bangkok
Upnotover replied to samtam's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Indeed correct. It is worth noting however that when they say "in person" what they actually mean is "by a person", i.e. not by mail. So the person can be anybody the applicant chooses and provides with the relevant authorisation; wife, friend, taxi driver or indeed the ever popular (on this forum anyway) "agent". -

BBC and Sky both reporting this as UK. Perhaps the other lot are a bit slow to update their websites. -

That's what you get, a template that you fill in your details by yourself.
