Mario2008 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I believe there is now indeed a passport office at Phuket. Both parents must sign the form cost is 1,000 baht for 35 baht they send it to your home in a couple of days. (Same day service might be available) requirement is houseregistration and maybe birth certificate No photo required, they take the photo for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that as of July, 2011 required at age of seven, but cross check. Thai ID cards are provisioned by your local Amphur for a minimal fee.

Thai passport office is in Phuket Town at the old municiple building, diagonal opposite the newer town hall. No idea if they can process same day but I can say they are very efficient. I'm sure a word in the right ear will work miracles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I know in Bangkok it takes 24 hours, would expect Phuket to be able to get you this on short notice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregBow Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Thanks for the help. I thought it was logical to reply at that point as the previous poster had quoted Bangkok timelines and seemed therefore to be able to support my issue Sorry for the incovenience I will move it to the BKK forum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
