retiredusn Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Just seen on the news (Tan) that folks needing passport renewals will need to apply through Hong Kong vice BBK embassey. All persons needing this type service may want to contact the embassey on new procedures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Certainly no change on the embassy website http://ukinthailand.fco.gov.uk/en/passport...ing-in-thailand I'm not sure how this would change the process anyway, you still apply in BKK and it still costs stupid money and takes 10 working days.

They quote a waiting time of 3 weeks. Current cost is 7521 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
