Still no! But still less than 7 weeks, so within their prescribed 11 week wait.

Notification today at 15.22 that passport received at VFS, so taken 7 weeks. I have 30 days to collect, which is just aswell, as I have eye surgery on Monday, and will need to convalesce for about a week plus. Anyway, good news.

Thats great. Not too bad i guess. ????

I heard that the Foreign Office was so pleased with the profit from selling the Embassy land in Ploenchit, they decided to compensate British Expats in Thailand by reinstaing the passport renewal service in Bangkok.  So no need to use a postal service or the agency.

 

Nah .... only kidding.

Could have better used this profit, I think, to extend the passport renewal service from Bangkok & Chiang Mai to other UK expat population centres such as Pattaya, Phuket & Samui.

 

But, as you imply, dream on!
