phetphet Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Starting to get requirements ready to renew passport at end of June. I know that VFS have moved to Huay Kwang area. I have some questions. I have downloaded and printed copies of application forms OS/01/01. Are such copies likely to be accepted? Proof of address: Went to both Kasikorn Bank and 3BB this morning to ask for a statement and a bill with my address in English. Both said "Cannot." I don't get utility bills such as PEA as we pay communally. So if I get either a bill or bank statement addressed in Thai, or a Certificate of Residence, would official translations of these documents be accepted? I have read that my Thai driving licence might be accepted, but it only shows a partial address, i.e. (House X, Moo Y). No apartment building name or Unit No. So might not be sufficient.

When I renewed my passport last year I ordered a statement in English via the K+ App and it was delivered almost instantly as a PDF and I was able to print it, VFS were fine with it. Maybe check the app and see if that option is still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Bangkok Bank, explained what I wanted, and they had me write down my address in English and printed me a statement with that on it. Only problem is I noticed after I got home, they have typed a u as a v, so I think I will have to go back and get it redone. I don’t want to fly all the way to Bangkok and get application refused over a single letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
