Lost Passport And Need To Get A New One Before My Visa Expires

[stevymac]

i just arrived at suvarnphumb airport yday on a 30 day visa on arrival. i plan to extend it at chang watthana immigraton. how long will they give me? im from the uk so how long will it take and how would i get the stamp transferred into new passport?

[KhunBENQ]

confused

Just(!) arrived, got a 30 day visa exempt (not visa on arrival).

Then lost passport with this stamp?

Do you already have a new passport?

The 30 day visa exempt can be extended once for 30 days, cost 1900 (that's the only statement that I can give for sure).

Lost passport ?

1. Report loss to the Police and obtain a copy of the report

2. Contact the British Embassy (Consular Div.) for advice

3. When a new travel document has been obtained go to n immigration office with the new document and a copy of the police report. They will reinstate your entry stamp.

Q: will the extension be possible with a so called emergency travel document?

Totally confused.

Thanks, good to know I am not alone.

I must admit that I might be confused too when I loose my passport just after arrival

Yes

They are about the same as a passport.

An emergency travel document from the Embassy is likely the only option given your short stay.

British passports can be renewed at the office in the Trendy building, Soi 13, Sukhumvit Road but I believe there is a long waiting list to get an appointment. Once applied for the passport takes several weeks to be processed.

Renewing a passport results in the new passport being issued in 3-4 weeks.

In the case of a "lost" passport there will be a significant delay.

The only option for the OP IMHO is to apply for an Emergency Travel Document which will be issued by the Embassy.

I completely agree with you.

"be sure you report missing or (probably) stolen.

Why was it probably stolen?

Unless the passport was lost, found and turned in at the airport, any video of it falling out of his pocket (for whatever reason) would be pretty pointless.

You got a visa exempt entry, not a visa on arrival. You'll need to get a police report and get an emergency travel document from the embassy and then go to immigrations. They'll have a record of your visa exempt entry and the details.

You'll be eligible for a 30 day extension of your 30 day permission to stay, but you'll need to have completed the steps above first.

• Some nationals are allowed to enter Thailand under the Tourist Visa Exempt Scheme. Like you they are granted a 30 day permit to stay when arriving at the airport.
• Some other nationals can't use visa exempt entry and have to apply for a visa on arrival at the airport. It costs 1,000 baht and they are given a 15 day stay.

I agree about the ETD but a little confused about the Trendy building (other than it's where I have to go to sort Mrs BM's visas). According to the British embassy's website they cannot help with passports, only ETD's. I know enough to know that my knowledge is tiny compared with either of yours, also that my little knowledge could be a dangerous thing, but am interested in learning. Have the passport office outsourced here or do they have an outpost here?

the embassy is ETD's forget the trendy building.

Thanks, they don't like to make things easy at Gov, they could simply have put that on the embassy site. I only spotted the bit about them not doing passports a few minutes ago when I was researching Mrs BM's visitor visa application.
