ORIGINAL POSTERGood day Ma’am/sir, question for Germans, my German bf applied for a new passport cause his old one is full already, he payed 9,000 baht in total and it’s the one that is not a lot of pages. and it’s not express. He think he got cheated, Does the price is reasonable?
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user queries the community about the 9,000 baht charged for a new German passport in Thailand, expressing concern over potential overcharging and wondering if this amount is typical. Responses indicate that the price seems excessive, with variations noted among different nationalities and services. Some comments suggest using agents can result in higher costs, while others mention much lower prices for passport renewals from other European consulates.

In fairness it depends where you live. I use an agent. Its cheaper and easier than 2 trips to Bangkok.

Yes but shop around for an agent that does not cost $300 ;)

A google search comes up with a price of €80 about 3,000bt. Did they use an agent?
Marie *******
On the website its written that you need to make an appointment

I dont know about German passports but agents can push the paper for UK passport, cost is about 5000bt on top of the government passport fee. That's why I asked.Marie *******
Agents aren't allowed to make a passport. You make an appointment directly with your embassy

For a person over 24 with the embassy card 81E, without the embassy card 141 (valid 10 years). That's the maximum price I've seen on the embassy's website
Marie *******
That's the price of the embassy. Every embassy have their own price. For a French passport it's 86E.
9000B seems way too much
