moogradod Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 My wife is soon shipping household items to Thailand as part of our relocation. We have paid for a door-to-door delivery. The partner of the shipping company in Switzerland, BlueFox Relocation Services Thailand, requests to get the original passports to prove that she has been abroad for more than 1 year to claim duty and tax free import. Anybody had to do the same (give originals) ? We actually only want to provide copies (certified if necessary). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Common requirement,. showing original passport, not a copy I had to travel to Bangkok to deliver mine to the agent primarily to prove that I was here on a Non immigrant visa and is one rule I have never heard of Royal Thai Customs breaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxx Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Same experience: original required. In my case the shipping company sent someone to Ayutthaya to pick it up, saving me a trip to Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
