passport office bangkok open ?

[Showbags]

Will it be open for business as usual on friday ?

The one in chang wattana I think it is called...

Or any other locations convenient to get to from sukhumvit may suffice.

No, that one is closed.

You have to use the one in Pinklao or Bangna and they only take a limited numer of applicaitons per day. To get the passportt will alos take a bit longer.

My daughter needs to renew her Thai passport. We are in Chiang Mai and I understand that the Passport Office here is closed until further notice. Is there an agency /office in Bangkok/Chiang Mai that could do the processing and collection?

Yes, Bangkok has 3 passports offices. The one at Cheang Wattana Road is closed, but the other two are functioning. However they only process 2,500 per day and getting the paspsort will take longer than usual.

1500 per day it seems.

So I would not bother making a trip down to do it, you may not get in there and get it done on the day you visit, might take several attempts...we did not get it, but decided to wait for Korat to reopen hopefully.
