Renewing ID card and passport for Thai National in Indonesia

[Richie1971]

Hi Guys,

 

Hoping someone can help with with my query.

 

Myself and the Thai wife have been 'stranded' in Bali for the last 2 years because of you know what and in that time her ID card has expired (by 2 months) and her passport expires in September 2022 (which we need to renew in order to get a new onshore visa here (6 months validity)

 

Has anyone ever done this in Indonesia and can provide any pointers?  I can't really work out what's required by looking at the Thai embassy website

 

Any feedback would be much appreciated, we're in Bali if that makes any difference

 

Regards

 

Richie

I think your wife needs to contact the embassy and talk to them. On the embassy's passport page, it states that to obtain a new passport the ID card must be valid.

In addition, the page about ID cards states that they will only be issued to Indonesian residents:

However, every case is decided on an individual basis, so your wife really needs to contact the embassy and find out her next steps.
