Hello respected knowledge base!

I am in Thailand with a lost passport and wondered if I could seek your advice...

I was planning on travelling to Singapore on the 23rd March to see family for the weekend. On the way back in to Thailand I would get a new 30 day visa exemption. This would then see me through to April 18th, when I fly back to the UK.

However, I've now lost my passport which makes everything far more difficult! My current visa expires on April 23rd, and I was wondering: is it possible to leave Thailand on UK Emergency Travel Document, and then re-enter on the same document, obtaining a new 30 day visa exemption in the process? I can then fly back to the UK and sort out this grand mess there.

I feel like I will have to jump through a lot of hoops for this one...

Many thanks in advance.

You can get a visa exemption on entry with a ETD.

You need to be sure the ETD mentions your trip to Singapore.

According to http://www.emirates.com/english/plan_book/essential_information/visa_passport_information/find_visa_requirements/visa_passport_information_results.aspx?NC=GB&NV=United+Kingdom&DC=TH&DV=Thailand&h=8db210b23f9a8de1bcdc4cdd7cb45d1d125eeed2 yes you can

Thanks all, much appreciated.

Do you already have the ETD and have you been to immigration to request they reinstate your entry stamp ?

I have an appointment at the embassy in Bangkok on Monday to get my ETD. After this I guess I need to go to Thai immigration to have my stamp reinstated? I have heard it's possible to check this at the airport, although that could cause a delay.

Have you made a Police report about the lost/stolen passport? The Embassy will want a copy of the report and you should also complete form LSO1

Ok good tip – thank you. Yes I have a police report.

You will also need confirmation of flights etc that you will use the ETD for. Not just e-mail booking but confirmed flight paid for bookings.
