Hi .I have decided to visit family in UK as i am not getting any younger. I have a son and a daughter and nine grand kids with three greatgrand kids. I also have a six year old son here in thailand. I want to take him with me ,the wife has been when my boy was a baby and she will be staying at home. .My son has a thai passport and an expired in june 2014 english passport. Do i have to renew his UK passport before i go or can i go and renew while in uk and if i go will i need a visa for him as his passport has expired.Anybody been there done that .I am not going till it summer 555555555555 in uk so plenty of time to get sorted before i go Any feedback appreciated .... peteinpatts...

He may be able to get an emergency travel document from the Embassy to go to UK, perhaps that is an option..

Or you could apply for a new British Passport to be sent to your in Thailand which might take a while..

I don't know if applying for a visa for the Thai passport is a good thing or not.

edit: Just re-read your post and you are not going till the summer.. so solution is probably Renew the passport in Thailand, check the Embassy website for latest instructions.

Your son can travel on an expired passport to the UK but as you have plenty of time before you travel you may aswell just renew it while you are in Thailand

The reason i havent renewed my boys passport is the fact that you have to visit trendy to apply then visit trendy to collect and as i value my time spent with my family i dont want the hastle of bangkok and trendy if i can avoid it. my boy has school and swimming lessons six days a week so i have to go alone .i ts not a long way i know but at my age one way is enough with the mad thai traffic espesially when you get to bangkok. I am just looking for the alternatives but will do what ever i have to.The post to hong kong was far easier but then the UK in its wisdom came up with the new safer way . I feel for those who live where a plane trip needed twice to renew the passport and hope that things will eventually change with ex patts in mind.. peteinpatts..
