Hi, anybody knows how to report death at UK embassy? Our friend/neighbor has passed away. He was married to a Thai but this woman doesn't know how to process stuffs like this and she is asking for help. Do we need to book for an appointment first before visiting the embassy? Or can just go and drop there any time? TIA
Answer summary
To report a death at the UK embassy in Thailand, it is recommended to call the embassy for guidance rather than visiting without an appointment. The embassy staff can clarify the process over the phone. In addition, contacting local authorities or the British Honorary Consul may be necessary. Supporting documents might be able to be sent by the hospital via email or fax. The spouse may also be entitled to financial support from the UK government and should check for pension benefits.

Click comment and we will ask for your email, then OTP, then name.
Just call them, it can all be done over the phone.
The hospital can email/fax supporting documents.
I did this for my brother-in-law a couple of years ago.
She will also be entitled to a £2,500 on time payment from the British Government for loss of spouse, this is received by contacting the revenue department in UK.
Also check his pension, if he had one, she should be entitled to a percentage of his monthly pension.
Again, I say, I did all of this a couple of years ago, my sister-in-law still receives the monthly pension payments.
