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 ;)

Probably because you aren't in bkk and they need to send it to phuket

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
Marie *******
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
