Just too update,visa's are not dealt with at The Embassy now,it's done by a private firm,near Lumpini Park. Rumour has it the company is an Indian one.

Indeed it is, and is also the same company used to issue Thai visas in India.

Who deals with UK passport renewals now? Is that still the British Embassy on Wireless Road? Or did this VFS company take that over?
