Is there . is what the poster asked I am the OP to whom the question was addressed. My answer, using ellipsis meant. 'As I live in Pattaya I do not know if there are agents in Khon Kaen. You need to address the question to someone from Khon Kaen or perhaps ask your question on the Khon Kaen forum.' Thus the short answer: "I live in Pattaya." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all. The agent did the rest. As she is a professional I'm sure she completed the form accordingly filling in the required fields as appropriate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much for the professional expertise of people who have done the job before and know where the office is and which department to go to? My missus went on the bus. Four hours each way. Photocopies were a few Baht but not many required. If my missus can do it without expertise then anyone can do it. My missus loved doing the bus journey. She's one of those people that likes to sleep as soon as the bus sets off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo1968 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 On 10/16/2021 at 6:20 PM, IvorBiggun2 said: Exactly right. Just get a family member to act on your behalf. Pay them 500 Baht for the day and job done. A visa agent would do the same and make a couple of thousand for just that. Many a Thai would bite your hand off for 500 Baht. OP - I live 50km south of Khon Kaen and no of no one in Bangkok to go to the UK passport office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, my retirement visa expires Dec 2021 and my passport April 2022 so I can't get a new retirement visa before I get a new passport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agent needs your passport to photocopy it and then again for the Bangkok trip. Understand but do you get your old passport back ? In the past I had my old passport returned with the corners cut off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroveHillWanderer Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) One of the things you need to provide as support for your passport application is proof of address/residence. On the list of acceptable documents for this, it says: Quote Please provide one of the following: • visa or resident permit (or colour photocopy) Is a copy of the page in your passport with your latest yearly extension sufficient for this? Or do you need something showing your actual address? Edited November 9, 2021 by GroveHillWanderer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. It shows that you are legally in Thailand and Thai Immigration has accepted your passport is genuine. They're not interested in your actual address, they're not going to post anything to you.

Thanks for that. What about proof of identity? It says a passport is one of the documents they'll accept for this, so once again, I assume your old passport itself suffices for this requirement?

Well done indeed. It just shows up the anal retentive attitude of the British Passport Office that they can't bring themselves to adopt a similar system. Just now, GroveHillWanderer said: Thanks for that. What about proof of identity? It says your old passport is one of the documents they'll accept for this, so once again, I assume your passport itself suffices for this requirement? Yes, all 48 colour photocopied pages. What a pain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
