Does anyone have experience doing a border bounce using a passport that is in the renewal process? I'm wondering if current pp will show up 'invalid' on the system if I border bounce.
UK passport office is on strike and I only have 30 days left in Thailand. I still have access to my current passport. I don't want to overstay as it will prevent future visa applications.
Any experience or suggestions are welcome.
Cheers!
