garygooner Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 If you are in Thailand you make the application in person at VFS in Bangkok or Chiang Mai. You have to make an appointment first. You then collect the new passport yourself when it arrives. (Someone can collect on your behalf) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waiting 2 weeks for appointment. You can skip the wait for an appointment if you go through an agent. 5,000 Baht appears to be the agent fee from what I have seen on Facebook... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dale75 Posted August 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2022 You can do it entirely by mail. I've just done it and I can recommend: https://www.keyvisathailand.com/ Fee was B5,100. Cheap at twice the price. NB There is a backlog at the passport office, it took me over 3 months. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CharlieH Posted August 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2022 Be aware if you POST it to an agent you may not see it again for several months. This may impact your 90 day reports and other potential problems. Make sure they send it back after the applicatio. Is made and dont hang on to it waiting for the new one to arrive. It was this aspect of frequent handling and postage (risk) several times back and forth that deterred me. So I went myself. There is a pinned topic with downloadable forms and other information at the head of this forum. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between what times is it possible to book initial appointments at VFS Mondays-Fridays excluding public holidays, please? Could be useful for those living some distance from Bangkok to know in determining whether or not they also need to book overnight accommodation in that not-so-fair (IMHO) city. Maybe you could include this info in your closed/pinned thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same times at Chiang Mai, but only on Tuesdays & Thursdays. https://visa.vfsglobal.com/tha/en/gbr/hmpo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
