DTV holders can no longer open a full TrueMoney account, unless they have a Thai driving license or own a condo, existing full accounts are not affected
Answer summary
DTV holders are currently unable to open a full TrueMoney account unless they possess either a Thai driving license or own a condominium. Existing full accounts remain unaffected. This has raised questions among expats regarding the connection between account eligibility and the mentioned requirements.

You can make copies at the VFS Centers to Renew your British Passport

otherwise, make copies at a photocopy shop beforehand

Take care of your valuable original documents and make quality copies at the Visa Application Centre.

Fast, high-powered machines and quality paper make preparing your documents easy and affordable.

What do you mean by original paperwork? The only original paperwork you require is your passport. You need to find someone to print the form for you if you can't do it yourself and photocopies you can get anywhere. The photos are the most complicated part.

Personally I don't live near a VFS Global office so I did mine via an agent who double checked everything before I mailed it all off to him and he went to the office on my behalf

If UK renewal. You need to print the application form and complete handwritten and in black ink( don’t fill in on your computer, I made that mistake before)

As you will not be sending your passport with the application, you will need a color copy of every page of the passport.

Also some sort of supporting document to show confirming your address.

+ 2x photos

+ credit card approval form.

VPS won’t do the copying, but you should be able to get it all printed at a photo/ print shop.

I did a renewal last week , this was my 8-9th time I’ve done it in Thailand ( including several applications for my kids)

If you have everything ready, you can be in/out within 10 minutes.

Pretty sure you can walk around your neighborhood and ask people where to get photocopies

You can send all your documents and scans to a nearby copy shop and send grab to pick it up.

1. Scam with your mobile.

2. Send docs by line/whatsapp/email.

3. Pay by QR.

4. Send grab express to pick up.
