Has anyone renewed a British passport recently? If so, do you know if they accept Thai Baht cash at the interview, or do they require a Credit/Debit card.

 

I've got an interview booked for this Thursday, so any information would be gratefully accepted.

 

Cheers!

Credit or debit card no cash, if using a Thai debit card make sure you have a start date for the card.

Hi. Do they accept a Thai debit card?

 

The reason cash isn’t taken is because the fee is processed in the UK, in GBP.

Providing the card is enabled for processing when the card holder isn’t present.

From when the date the card starts from 

In section 10 of the British passport application form, it mentions a Counter signatory. As a full UK passport holder, do I need to provide a 3rd. party to countersign my application form? I unfortunately do not have ANY British or Commonwealth passport holder that I might use.

as an adult If you look like your passport picture from your old passport you do not need a counter signature!

If you renew as an ex patt hereThailand it has to go to singapore ... thats what i had to do but that was 8 yeas ago.

All passport renewals are now done in UK, the agency in Bangkok processes your application and receives the new passport.

I assume you mean the date on which the card was activated?

 

Apologies if English is not your first language.

Credit cards show a start and expiry date that is not the case with a debit card, the passport payment form requires a start and expiry date.

They have never issued passports in Singapore (in recent years), Hong Kong was used for a short while.........
