Has anyone who has renewed their UK passport from Thailand experience difficulty finding someone qualified to countersign the application (Section 9) If so how did you get round it?

Thanks

Further note:

ORIGINAL PASSPORT: Thailand is an exception to the main guidance given on our primary website. It is not advised to be without your original passport in Thailand and we recognise this. You may therefore submit a clear photocopy of your passport (just the page with your personal details and photograph). Please note that the passport being renewed will be electronically cancelled and is therefore not valid for use as a travel document from the moment you submit your application. On receipt of your new passport, you must physically cancel your old passport by cutting the corners of the photo page and the front and back covers. Failure to do so may leave your replaced passport open to abuse. Alternatively, you should visit the British Embassy in Bangkok to have your replaced passport physically cancelled. Please be aware when transferring your visas the Immigration Bureau may request a letter from the British Embassy.

Thanks for the responses.

Actually I managed to find it, but it is well hidden in their website.

They publish a 10 pages of notes on completing the smart form and you would think they would include the fact in there. If you follow the form through it seems evryone has to have a counter signatory. Shame really as everything else was very easy.
