thaiscot Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Hi I am trying to apply for a 2nd uk passport whilst living in Thailand ( Online) , I have a letter from my employer explaining why I need a 2nd passport but have noticed that It says I have to send my 1st passport to them ( I need it for work that's why I need a 2nd passport ) I downloaded & printed off the application form which has a " more information " part where you can state you are applying for a 2nd passport but this isn't in the online application I don't want to apply for another passport & they cancel my 1st one if they don't know its a 2nd passport Anyone successfully gotten a 2nd uk passport online ?

Cricky Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I have 2 Australian passports. It's called a concurrent passport. When applying, apply for a concurrent passport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A second UK passport is when an individual has two separate British passports simultaneously and can use both of them at that same time. This is different from dual citizenship and is also known as “concurrent passports”." Source. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is exactly what I want to apply for a 2nd passport, I don't want a concurrent passport I have to apply for a new passport but tell them it is a 2nd passport I'm applying for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiscot Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 What I meant is that in the uk it is known as a 2nd passport it's not called a concurrent passport , its also something that is not really known about & not broadcasted as its only available for certain situations ie business travel & travel to conflicting countries etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
