simonphuket Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hi all, My current passport is about to expire and as a result I need to fly to BKK and apply for a new pp. The standard procedure is that during the application process, which takes about 2-3 weeks, they will hold on to my old passport. I assume to transfer some stamps or so to my new pp,. and to invalidate the old pp. After that, I have the choice to fly again to BKK and pick up my old+new pp, or have them send it to me (need to leave an envelope with 50 thb stamp at the embassy). Some questions: in case I leave my old passport at the embassy, I do not have any valid id anymore. Is this allowed, and can I still fly back?(silly question probably)? I never actually paid much attention if they indeed check my pp on domestic flights, but I recall they do . Would just a copy of my pp be sufficient or can the embassy supply some kind of paper? As the postal service in my district is 100% guaranteed... never to arrive(!!)..., does anyone know if I can use a more reliable postal service, where I can track the parcel, eg EMS or UPS? Many thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepanom Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hi, You don't have to leave your old passport at the embassy, They can sent to you the new passport by EMS, what is I think save to do. If you have any more questions, call or mail the embassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackion Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 It is worth checking if you need to come to BKK at all. For example, Israeli embassy allows to send an old passport via EMS/DHL and will mail you back the canceled old passport and the new passport. You might want to give a call/e-mail to your Embassy and to ask if that is possible. I think they will be able to send you the necessary documents (like application for a new passport, consent form) attached to an e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a new Dutch passport you have to apply in person.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
