UK passport renewal payment

[kidneyw]

I wish to renew my UK passport at VHS Global, Will it be acceptable to pay the renewal fee with my Siam Commercial Bank Debit card?

Thanks.

I got the same question but clearly as it is now March and you still haven't got an answer they are all asleep or hibernating. I'm going to 'phone them on Monday and ask as official advice says only GBP £ sterling is acceptable but I don't have a UK card any more and they don't accept cash I could get from a Bureau de Change. Google says they do accept Thai bank cards but I think better to phone and ask!

I used my Thai Debit card (SCB) three weeks ago and it was accepted. Money was withdrawn after a few days.

The issue is not what "they" will accept it is whether or not your bank card, from whatever country, will work for an offline payment in the UK.  The question needs to be directed to the bank, HMPO don't care.
