Hello,

This might seem like a stupid question. But how do you pay for your renewal?

The first time I renewed my passport was 9 years ago at the UK Embassy, it was quick and easy.

However, things have changed and I have made an appointment at:

VFS GLOBAL

The Trendy Office Building, 28 Floor, 10/200 Sukhumvit soi 13, Klongtoey-Nua, Wattana

I have got all the documents ready, but the only thing it said about payment in the email confirming my appointment was this:

While applying for or renewing your passport, the payment details are required to be filled into the payment mandate form.

I was thinking I could turn up with my documents and just pay cash. Is the mandate payment form something I just fill in when I arrive at their office? I could not find much about it on the gov.uk website.

Many thanks for any suggestions,

Moved to home country forum

I found it incase someone else needs to know this for UK passports:

You cannot pay by cash, you need to complete the card mandate form that you have referred to and the previous poster has given a link to.

Cards are processed in the UK.
