I have recently applied, via Hong Kong, to renew UK passport which expires next year.

Do any members remember which courier was used to return their new passport, e.g. EMS or some other?

Also how long did it take to arrive approx?

Thanks.

Done my 2 kids passports .was told to go to DHL.

Everything went smooth. There's one at Sukumvit .times sq I believe.

Good luck:rolleyes:

Sent from my GT-I9305 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

DHL, very fast, sent through the British Consulate in Chiang Mai, came back within 3 weeks on a quoted 6. Courier fee all in was just over 1000B.

You sent through the British Consulate?

I thought it had to be posted to Hong Kong. That could have saved me some time and money.

Yes, through the consulate, but was for a new passport - baby - not sure if offered for renewals.

I think the British Consulate will do it.

They are really helpful and the contact is Khun Panita, who will put you right on all manner of things.

Best service I used was DHL, There is an office in CP Tower Silom Road.

I renewed mine through Hong Kong recently.

I used regular air mail to send the application form to Hong Kong and the new passport came back from the UK by EMS (if I remember correctly).

Total time from sending the forms to getting the new passport was exactly 4 weeks.

A friend also did his shortly after and also got his back in 4 weeks.

To answer my own question, and for the edification of others:

The courier used for return is DHL.

My application was received at Hong Kong Consulate on 15th Oct.

I received the receipt for payment and Cardholder Copy back from Hong Kong 31st Oct.

I received the passport today, 1st Nov, form the UK.

A very fast, though expensive, service I must say.

No complaints at all.
