Is a rental agreement sufficient proof of address for renewing a British passport in Thailand?

British passport renewal Proof of address Thailand immigration Visa requirements Rental contract

ORIGINAL POSTER

So I've got an appointment in Bangkok on Monday to renew my British passport as I'm on the last page. 

I see that a requirement is to show proof of address. 

I have a rental contract, however I'm not a "permanent" resident here in visa terms. Would this be sufficient enough?

All the bills etc are in my landlady's name. 

Could anyone confirm if a rental agreement is good enough?

Thankyou in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires whether a rental contract can serve as proof of address for renewing their British passport in Bangkok, given that they are not classified as a permanent resident and their utility bills are in the landlady's name. A comment suggests that the application process for a British passport is separate from Thai visa requirements.

Sorry to tell you, but application of a British passport has not much to do with Thai Visa. You have a better chance to get an answer on this forum:
