November 19, 20214 yr Does anyone know when the passport office that was in Pattaya’s The Avenue will be reopened? My missus needs a new one.
November 19, 20214 yr 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.

November 19, 20214 yr Unless something has changed in the past few days it has been open for several months now.
November 19, 20214 yr Author bkko and blix99, thank you very much. I heard ages ago they were closed and figured there was no change. Next week we’ll head over to get her a new pp.

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.

December 3, 20214 yr Author 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?
