Jumbo1968 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Key Visa in Pattaya can do it, you don’t need to visit the office all done by post. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CMBob Posted February 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Would be helpful if you'd actually mention what country's passport is involved. If you're talking about renewing a US passport, there isn't anyway an agent can do that for you (read the embassy/consulate website as what's required is plainly spelled out).

Key Visa did mine for me but part way through Darren, the top man there, died which left me with a small problem of communication. I don't know if the company is still doing anything but it's worth a try. The girls working there all know what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muhendis Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 2 hours ago, Shop mak said: Keyword in OP was Phuket Getting a new passport requires a trip to VFS in Bangkok.... Twice. By using an agent like Key Visa, you can get a new passport without leaving Phuket or wherever you are. Words like "passport" and "agent" are stronger key words than Phuket especially when such agent as Key Visa deals with passport renewal for the whole of Thailand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct the agent have an an agreement so they collect your passport, only issue I would think is it might get lost in the post when sending to Key Visa and possibly when they send the new one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Key Visa is still operating, I communicated with them regarding Darren being now departed a couple of weeks back. They replied to me in English. Renewal can all be done by EMS tracking service, every part of your pack is tracked. You get a number to login to see where your package is. All you need to do is go to your local post office.... https://track.thailandpost.co.th/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would advise always to send track and trace as i was sent stuff before and I never received them. Edited February 27, 2023 by Jumbo1968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year I sent my Life Cert to UK by EMS track and trace by accident, it got delivered, well so it says on my PC.... Same with my PP stuff too and from Key Visa, I tracked it.....
