New UK passport / 90 day

[lelapin]

I am in the process of renewing my UK passport and expect to receive the new one before the end of the year. I normally do my 90 days online but understand that after getting a new passport, I will need to go to Immigration in Jomtien for the first one with the new passport. I will also need to transfer all my visa etc. information from the old passport to the new one. Is there an agent that anyone can recommend to do this for me and approximately how much will it cost?

I recommend that you do it yourself.

why on earth would you need an agent for that?

Easy process transfering the stamps to do self at immigration. .

90 days you can still do online with old passport number, just make sure you have it correctly updated at immigration office before you aplly for your visa extension.

Just do it yourself.

 

Take the two passports to Jomtien.

 

You have to return the next day to pick them up but it is free.

I used KeyVisa - www.keyvisa.com

 

They charge 5000 bt which saved me two overnight visits to Bk so for me was good value.

 

It only took 4 weeks to process. You will need to go to immigration when you get your new PP to get your visa/extension of stay moved to your new PP. A simple process.

 

Don't forget to also inform your bank and driving license office about new PP.

Easier to get the stamps transferred, then go and do the 90 day report in the same visit. (The first one after a passport update must be done in person).

So he doesn't have to go to "CBI" Jomtien and rub shoulders with the skanky old white dudes in their wife-beaters, flipflops and who reek of B.O.

 

I'd pay good money never to have to go back to that orifice ever again.

You may wish to check with Phuket immigration.

Usually stamps (eg reentry permit, extension etc) can only be transfered at office where they were issued.

I'd pay good money never to have to make 2 trips in person to a particular orifice in Bangkok ever again at renewal time for my British passport!

An agent can do that for you.

Painless for you and you also save money depending on where you live.

Can I jump in with off topic question here.

Australian pp needing renewal.

Can anyone recommend agent for passport renewal.

Located Bangkok.

 

Personally don't use agents but currently have reasons for pp renewal

I have now received my new UK passport and need to transfer all necessary info from old one to new one. I have been quoted by agent 2,500 baht to do this. If I were to do this myself, what would I need to take to Jomtien immigration and what is the procedure. I am a sick, 82 year old so unless it is easy I will use the agent to do it.
