Kwasaki Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Keyvisa did mine for me 1year before renewal I just follow instructions, posted stuff by EMS. I took copies of all pages of my passport. Their charge was 5000 baht. I paid my passport fees by a Visa signed form for HMPO to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Renew via VFS in either Bangkok or Chiang Mai. You could also use an agent to do it. With 18 months left on your present one you are a little premature ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year is 2022 (and yes, I did actually go and check in case I was finally losing it) ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I'd leave it until about 8 months before expiry (October 2023) - the new passport starts from the new date of issue, so you'd want to minimise the months lost. Surely by October 2023 HMPO will have got their act together!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new passport arrived with ten years and six months to expiry date, no loss of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall this has indeed changed within the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes things changed in 2018, from then HMPO no longer added up nine months of validity from passports being renewed. This was one of the benefits of Brexit, as the UK became one the third nationality countries who had to comply with the rule that passports needed to be issued less than ten years previously to enter the EU, the rule didn't apply when the UK was a member of the EU. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
