I need to renew my UK Passport as it expires August next year. (My retirement Visa expires May next year. Any advice on who to use, and has anyone used Mythaivisa.

Are there any Americans in this group who've bought a new passport in Chiang Mai?

Mine is getting full (4 blank pages left) and I'd like to get a new one, but I'm not sure it's worth it to do this in Thailand. According to the website for the US embassy in Thailand, it looks like they will have to transfer my Thai visas and entry/exit stamps to the new passport. I'd rather have a fresh passport with all blank pages.

Obviously, this isn't urgent with existing blank pages. However, I have no plans to go back to the US to get one there. I will be in other countries in SE Asia in the coming year. I'm also happy to hear suggestions for doing this in other countries if anyone has had experiences outside of Thailand.

Hi there, I need to apply for a new UK passport as my current one has run out of pages; therefore there is no space for any more visas. I am currently in Chiang Mai and have a non-immigrant O visa which expires on the 10th January. I understand that I need to travel to Bangkok for my application. If I apply for my new passport ASAP (I believe early next week would be the soonest for the appointment) would I get it back in time before my visa expires and if not, would this then be a problem? Any advice you have would be very helpful!
