sometimewoodworker Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 HMPO will not (without significant pleading, and probably not even then) deliver/send a passport to anywhere other than the proved address you provide in the country where that is. Except in the few countries where they only deliver to a central collection/ distribution point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashlight92 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) I won't have a permanent address while in KL. Would I not be able to get it sent to the high commission or another collection point in KL? I got mine sent to the British Honorary Consul in Penang in 2016, no problem. Just check with him first to see it's OK. I got the one before that sent to the British High Commission in KL. again no problem.

Thanks..... so it seems there is a discrepancy between some people's understanding, and some people's experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambodia and Laos are the same as here. You can check a few other countries if you want to by going through the steps here. https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they did but you were in the UK and applying in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delight Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I employed a Pattaya agent to organise my new passport. As I stated in a earlier post the passport was posted direct to me-from Bangkok (from memory) After it arrived I simply collected the old passport from the agent. He was surprised I still have it - exactly in the same condition as when I handed it to the agent. Suspect something went wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
