billzant Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I must renew my UK passport this year. Last time I sent DHL to Hong Kong. Now I understand the process has been outsourced. Please can you send me up-to-date details for renewal - link or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billzant Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Dick, Thanks very much for this info. So quick. I am concerned about how long it takes to renew the passport once I have attended the interview. Any thoughts? I want an appointment on or around 25 April - just after my 90 days. When should I send the email requesting interview dates.? BillZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dick turpin Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Currently taking about 10 weeks. You will get an appointment a couple of weeks in advance of your requested dates, it is not an interview just a document check. Not sure what your 90-day report has got to do with this, you still retain your old passport intact, which is not cut until you collect your new passport. This link may help explain the process, but you need to check for latest opening times etc https://www.richardbarrow.com/2019/06/a-quick-guide-to-renewing-your-british-passport-in-bangkok/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billzant Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Dick, Thanks for your advice. My plan was out-of-date or misunderstood. I thought they took my passport because I read of an online problem last year. 90 days doesn't count. Helped clarify my plans or rather I don't need to be worried about the dates. Does the renewal of the passport ie the 10 years run from the old expiry date? Thanks again BillZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, 10 years from the date the new passport is issued, old expiry date is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackcab Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 As the British Embassy does not oversee passport applications, I have moved this topic to the Home Country forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer2021 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I used a Pattaya based agents to help me and it took about 8 weeks during which time I had my passport. I never went to Bangkok or did interview. But recently I have heard its much quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
