A hypothetical question. I am ninety-one. My passport expires in 2028. If I don't bother to renew it what are the ramifications if I'm still around?

overstay?

You could live to be 100.  I would get it renewed.

Celebrate your 94th birthday in the IDC...

 

That should be fun ! 😄 

Why do that?  could be all sorts of problem after you kick the bucket.

Be the oldest guy who needs a GoFundMe page.

Probably easier to get a new passport, less stress, use an agent

You diving over cars and jumping over roofs to escape the Immigration Police will probably be the best footchase on 9Gag in its history. And for that, it would definitely be worth you not getting a new passport.

i would renew your passport .
It will be easier than not doing it.
Is it just the cost or the hassle of doing it that concerns you?

IMO your extension of stay may no longer be valid, and there would be problems with 90 day reporting.

 

You would be unable to travel outside Thailand.

Not going to answer about your passport, but certainly wish to congratulate you for reaching such a respectable age. To many more years!

If you are in the Commonwealth, you get a telegram from King Charles if you make it to 100.

 

Something to look forward to.

Cannot wait.....🤭

You've got 3 years to go on your PP.

Hypothetical answer - Wait 2 years and consider it again. 🙄

 

A lot can happen in that time, but of course I hope it's all good for you mate.

 

Good Health and Cheers! 🍺🍺

No, he won't, neither will anyone else, there has been no telegram service for over 30 years.

Apparently not, you get a written message, but if you don't live in UK, it's not automatic

How does an agent get a new passport for you? I know for Aussie passports it requires personally fronting up at the Consulate in Bangkok, so not sure how an agent can help with that.

In the case of UK passport, the agent liaises with the org that deals with it in Bangkok

Does it still require for the applicant to present themselves at the Embassy? If so an agent would be a waste of money.

Well, congrats on living to 91.  If I should be lucky enough to live to my 90's, I'll defiantly be ringing the bell!

 British nationals can apply or renew their British passports in Thailand. They need to book an appointment through BangkokHMPO(at)vfshelpline.com and apply in person once the appointment has been set.
