how easy is it to get a new passport sent to bangkok and transfer me visa over? My passport is getting pretty full and wondered if it was a hassle to send off for a new one and get the visa transferred over or if it is easier to get a new one in the UK and transfer the visa over when i get back to thailand?

Help! Just lost Uk passport & my retirement extension is due for renewal mid September.

I know I can apply for a new passort with VFS but their website quotes 13weeks so too late for my renewal.

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

I've made a police report but any idea what happens if the passport doesn't arrive in time?

Good Morning🌞 Helpful group member ,

Asking for a friend :

🇲🇾🇭🇰He will use Malaysia or Hongkong Passport enter Thailand on 30 days visa exemption.

Can he extend for another 30 days at 3F changwattana immigration with VFS？

If YES, can he go to extend another 30 days on the day arrive ?

Thanks in advance , have a pleasant day ahead.🙏

The Royal Thai Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa have changed their visa application process from 01 March 2023 and now use two agencies to issue visas: VFS and BLS. Currently VFS are not yet set up to issue any Thai visas in South Africa and only BLS can do this. The list of visas that are issued do not include the Non O - retirement, only the Non OA - Retirement.

I do not want an OA visa even though I meet all the requirements.

If I apply for a 60 day tourist visa (TR) can I apply for a retirement extension with this once in Thailand or is it just easier to come in on a visa exempt and apply for a Non O once in the country? I already meet all of the Non O requirements.

Thank you for your kind advice

Hello all, looking for some clarification on the sticker visa for Thailand

I am an Indian citizen, and I want to apply for the 90 day sticker visa. VFS here asks for air ticket in and out of Thailand, but I plan to exit Thailand by land border. Is there any option to submit a bus ticket or something else instead?

I got a covid extension until 22nd Sept.

I want to get a new passport as mine is tatty and only a few pages remaining and i want to do a fair bit of travelling in winter without returning to UK if I can help it.

Is there a way to get a replacement here whilst I am on a tourist visa?

Hi. I am applying for a canadian study permit.

I submitted my passport to VFS one week ago but still havent received any EMS tracking no. for its way back to me.

I emailed VFS and they said my passport was on its way to the embassy. One day after, I recevied the approval decision on my visa via my online portal but until now (three days after the approval decision) I havent heard anything about my passport, and I am worrying if they lost it.

Has anyone had any experience about VFS or the embassy losing your passport? What was your next move?

VFS / HMPO warn of passport renewal delay.
