NewGuy Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Does anyone know when the passport office that was in Pattaya’s The Avenue will be reopened? My missus needs a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbko Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Did they recently close? My wife renewed her passport there a few weeks ago (mid Oct), first she made a call and they suggested she show up early the next day as they only handle a certain number each day, then turn away the rest. Her passport was mailed to our home a few days later. https://www.facebook.com/Passport.Pattaya Edit: She showed up at 7am and they gave her a ticket that was called at 1pm. Plan accordingly.

A piece on the bbc about this. Apparently they have been using fedex who have a proper mess of things although the cynic in me wouldn't be surprised if they just don't want people travelling but don't want to say so & have roped in fedex & put the blame on them. Present UK government is becoming more & more unable to accept blame for anything & are in the process of buying a goat farm as a face saving exercise.

NewGuy Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 The missus finally went to The Avenue’s passport office this morning and had to wait until it opened at 8:30 am. lots of people, she got Number 9 and was called pretty quickly, provided her info, picture taken and paid them 1,500 Baht for a 10-year passport, which will be mailed to her here in Pattaya. She was out by 9:01 am. Funny that. On their poster outside there is a sign saying 3,000 Baht for five years and 3,500 for 10 years. But 5 or 10 years of what?
