Can anyone share any experience of applying in Kathmandu/Nepal recently?

Also, can I apply in Pokhara? Even if the embassy is in Kathmandu? There is only one embassy in Nepal. 🙏🏾👍🏾🙂

Has anyone here tried applying for a UK visa in Bangkok while on DTV? Does anyone know if the UK Consulate allows it? Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m a British citizen living in Thailand and I’m planning to renew my UK passport from here.

I read this article from Pattaya Mail about the process, and it mentions that proof of address in Thailand must be from the Thai or UK government (like a Thai driving licence, pink residency card, or correspondence from a UK authority).

I don’t have a Thai driving licence or a pink ID card — only a TM30 from my landlord showing my registered address.

For anyone who has *recently* renewed their British passport from within Thailand, was the TM30 enough as proof of address, or did you have to get something else (like a letter from immigration, bank, or local council)?

Any tips or recent experience would really help. Thanks!

I'm looking to bring my partners niece to England for a 2 month holiday.

Roughly how long does the process take?

I know that might be like asking 'how long is a piece of string' but maybe someone who has gone through the process could give me a rough idea?

And what is the starting point?

The UK or Thai Embassy?

Thanks

Good morning all, this is really directed at any other former Jersey, Channel Island Residents. Have any of you had to renew your Jersey Passport whilst living here in Thailand, did you use VFS Global as they do for British Passports or did you have to go down another avenue with the Passport Office in Jersey directly. Thanks All.

Doing my Due Dilligence on British Passports:

If I retire to Chiang Mai, what is the process for renewing my British Passport. I know I can do this online, but it's the process of then getting the new Passpport/returning the old one that I can't seem to find information on.

Thanks in advance.
