HooHaa Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 only the holder can renew a passport to my knowledge. you can appoint someone power of attorney to pick it up, but i cant imagine any consulate accepting a passport renewal by proxy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denim Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Pretty easy to do yourself. There is guidance on the embassy website if I remember correctly. Did my own last year and didn't find it that difficult. Just go slow and be thorough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 AFAIK there's only one Pattaya visa agency that is approved to handle UK passport renewals. The OP will still need to download the forms and complete them as well as collate the documentation that is required to support the renewal including passport photos, etc.. This agency will check the documents for compliance and do the submission and the new passport collection for a nominal fee. They will also accept application forms and the support documentation via EMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect to pay 5,000 Baht plus the passport of £106.01 (32 page) or £114.01 (48 page) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiflyer1 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Friend of mine used Keyvisa this year...........no problems........think it took a couple of weeks. Be careful you apply well ahead of time................my friend didnt and was hit with overstay when he went into Immigration to move the visa stamps over to the new passport................his passport had expired while it was away getting renewed..............500 a day fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post some links for this statement as far as im aware you have to do it in person in Bangkok. Ok just done a web search and yes it appears you can get it done by a third party. Thats good news. Wont have to travel all the way to bkk. Edited August 31, 2017 by jeab1980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeab1980 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Key visa 5k which for me is very good news indeed as i can get it done via them not living down there. It would cost me a lot more than 5k to travel down to BKK twice, even driving there then hotel for the night x2. Excellent news Edited August 31, 2017 by jeab1980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweatySock Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I used KeyVisa last year to renew my UK passport. Excellent service, sent back to me via EMS within 3 weeks. Friend of mine also used them to renew his daughters UK passport, again, great service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound advice. Don't think that you are losing out, UKPA will 'credit' up to 9 months unexpired term on the passport. For those expats subject to 90 day reporting it is a good idea to do it just after a 90 day report. UKPA are very efficient at the moment and the renewal process should take no more than 1 month.
