Can you extend a 60-day visa exemption in Thailand while your UK passport is being renewed?

We just done our UK passport only took 3 week amazing service

Having fairly recently renewed my UK passport it took around 4 weeks all in so if you do it right at the start of your 60 days you should be OK. But if you go beyond the 60 days you're stuffed

I did with a Irish passport,just retain the old one while the new one is being processed and it should be active until the new passport arrives at bassy,then you ik it up and they stamp your old one inactive and the new one is then active .

One would surmise that if you are here on a 60 day visa exempt entry that you would have more than 6 months left on your passport!

As, they usually only let you in if your passport has at least six months validity for the length of your stay?

So why would you feel the need to send off your passport for renewal if you wish to extend for another 30 days.

If you are planning to visit another country and need a longer passport life then maybe a visit home to renew your passport could be a better idea!

As getting a new passport whilst only on a 60 day exempt entry could be an indication you are planning to be here a lot longer than 60 or 90 days
