My current 5 year Canadian passport expires in July.  Its a simple, straight forward renewal. I don't use the Canadian pp for Immigration requirements in Thailand.

I have been to the website for the BKK embassy and obtained the forms etc.

I live in Phuket, so will need to travel to BKK to renew this.

I am looking for any helpful info from anyone who has done a renewal recently. 

Tips on Photo, Fees, Process, 

p.s. The last time I renewed my pp, it was done while I waited in the office. Is that still possible? 

thanks.

A report about the seemingly nitpicking requirement for the photo.

In this thread (although in the Pattaya forum) there is a hint about a photo shop in Bangkok near the Embassy that knows the job:

 

Moved to Home Country forum where similar threads exist.

Thanks KB. Much appreciated.

KB,

Just an update...

Went to BKK for my pp renewal last week.

All done smoothly. Now waiting for the new pp to arrive via ems.

Thank you for your help.

 

Of special mention is the attachment you sent and the post from CNX355 where he provides gps coordinates for the Fuji shop. 

I have difficulty walking due to age and stuffed up hips and knees. I gave the gps coords to the taxi driver. Lo and behold after fighting bkk traffic for about an hour, he parks right opposite the fuji shop. Amazing technology. Would like to thank CNX355 for his post and saving me time and effort in locating the photo shop. If there is a way you could do that for me in the forum, it would be appreciated. I will send him a pm.
