How can I renew my UK passport while in Thailand?

Good to know, cheers!

@Nat****

, believe it or not citizens abroad never deal with their embassy for things. They deal with consular services, which may or may NOT be in the embassy building.

In fact you got a new passport from he Consular Section of the Embassy of Canada ;)

What Brits go thru to get a new passport has nothing to do with their embassy or consulate here though, it's privately contracted out thru the company I mentioned.

Maybe not the consulate but the embassy itself?

you would be mistaken thinking that. The UK consulate does NOT handle passport renewals for their citizens. It's contracted out to the company I mentioned VFS Global.

Thanks Tod, I've had a look at these services already, I just wanted confirmation before I go ahead and contact them.

Cheers.

, once you get your new passport they will give you a letter that you take with both passports to the immigration office and they will transfer your extension of stay and re-entry permit stamps into the new passport.

that is totally incorrect :( The UK consulate here doesn't handle anything to do with a new pasport
