Brain fog.

Immigration doesn’t or does hold the original passport during the two? Weeks while processing annual renewal.

TIA

Hey everyone, my passport has been kept by an agent for 8 months and would really appreciate some advice. In last May I decided to use the service of a (well known) agent in Bangkok to renew my marriage visa. I didn't get my passport back after 8 months (the visa expired in August 2021). The agent won't say anything about the situation other than very vague stuff and she keeps pushing the date back. I had used the same agent previously without problems (other than an already long delay but it was ok).

I'm a bit desperate at this point and was wondering if anyone had a similar experience? I'm a French citizen if that matters. I'm considering reporting the agent to the police and getting a new passport. Thanks!
