New passport

Featured Replies

Hello to all

First, sorry for my bad English, l am not a native English speaker 

Here is my problem and questions related 

In 2 weeks, I'll, with my Thai wife, go on holiday in Belgium, I booked my flights, my sha+ hotel, my health insurance, my covid passport, and so on

Everything with my current passport number

Here is the problem, I have only 3 pages on my passport, so I have to ask a new one in my city administration, and then of course, I'll have a new  number

Is the Thailand pass can be refused because it's not the same number I have on my booking? 

Thank you for your help and advices 

Knowing the way Thailand operates I'd fear the worst. You really don't want to get stuck when returning from a holiday.

 

Assuming you have PP validity (it's just full) personally I'd wait to renew until you return to Thailand despite it being more hassle. I'm assuming that Belgium, being a civlilised country, will allow you to renew whilst in Thailand of course.

Unfortunately it's impossible, only 3 pages left, (one will be used to leave the country, and the validity is still next august

Law in Belgium is if you're registered in a city, you have to renew the passport in this city, only people registered at the embassy (mostly retired) can ask the passport there

That's a shame ????  Are you permitted to retain your cancelled old passport?

 

Next best bet is going to be as suggested by @Chomper Higgot

 

EDIT Is it possible to renew at your home city by mail from Thailand??

Yes I can retain my cancelled passport

And no, can't renew by post cause it's  biometric (fingers prints) 

My guess is to contact the hotel and insurance to ask to change the passport number when I know it, but it could be short in time

I would make a new Thailand Pass application after getting the new passport. In your case, there are two open questions:

 

1. How long is your vacation in Belgium?

 

2. How long does it take you to get a new passport on Belgium?
