Good morning, can I ask for advice (on behalf of a good friend) on whether I need to have 12 months validity on my passport to apply for a new marriage visa.
Secondly after trying to apply for a new British passport the official government website says that I will need to go to Bangkok to complete the application.
Many thanks in advance for you advice and replies.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks advice on passport validity requirements for applying for a marriage visa in Thailand. It's clarified that for an initial Non-O single entry visa, a 6-month validity is sufficient. When extending based on marriage, the extension can either be for 1 year or the remaining validity of the passport. For renewing a British passport, the user notes the need to go to Bangkok, although there are alternative options via VFS in Chiang Mai.
