KhunBENQ Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) 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).

Popular Post sunnyjim5 Posted March 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2016 Lost passport ? 1. Report loss to the Police and obtain a copy of the report 2. Contact the British Embassy (Consular Div.) for advice https://www.gov.uk/government/world/organisations/british-embassy-bangkok 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Q: will the extension be possible with a so called emergency travel document? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) 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 Edited March 10, 2016 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elviajero Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited March 10, 2016 by elviajero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

"be sure you report missing or (probably) stolen. essential the (probably stolen as well missing in case they have video evidence that it dropped for what ever reason out of your pocket..." 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. 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? 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. http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/doc/services.pdf Edited March 10, 2016 by elviajero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with you. 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
