I have a friend who is 19, and he's here in Thailand with his father. His passport is absolutely full of stamps because he used to go to school in Gibraltar when he lived in Spain.

The problem now is that he's overstayed his visa, and he wasn't able to get an extension because his passport is literally out of space for any more stamps.

The extension was due on the 29th of July, and now it's the 11th. So we're looking at the best route to get him a new passport and to help him renew his visa and extend it before the end of the month.

We’re also considering just paying the overstay fine and then having him fly out of the country and return to Thailand on a tourist visa again.

In Chiang Mai, so thinking Flight to Vietnam.

But whats the most rapid way to get a new passport with space

Will I have any issues with an overstay due to a lost passport. My visa expires today and I can apply for a new passport. I will have 10-15 day overstay depending on how long it takes to arrive. Will I have any issues re entering if I have the police report etc to show I lost my passport.

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?

Does anyone have experience doing a border bounce using a passport that is in the renewal process? I'm wondering if current pp will show up 'invalid' on the system if I border bounce.

UK passport office is on strike and I only have 30 days left in Thailand. I still have access to my current passport. I don't want to overstay as it will prevent future visa applications.

Any experience or suggestions are welcome.

Cheers!

My current Education Visa finishes on 11 June 2023. This week I've applied for a new passport and estimated waiting time is around 11 weeks which would approximately be the end of June. Ive read its possible to leave and re-enter Thailand using an emergency travel document. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Morning All, Is it possible to fly to Thailand from Singapore on an emergency travel document/passport with a visa exempt ? I am a UK citizen working/living in Singapore and also living in Thailand with my family. UK passport delays are up to 11 weeks to replace my damaged one so I wanted to return to Thailand to see my family. thanks

Advice:

My passport is expiring 18 April 2021 and my embassy just got an issue with their system and will take 3 months to give me a new one, so that means for a covid visa extension they cannot stamp my passport longer than the expiration date in 3 weeks and I will be with no legal document here. My embassy offered me an emergency passport but I don't know if at immigration they take that as legal document (I came here and they said it dwpends on the answer of the government, so nothing clear)

For the moment I also see the option of going out and come back.

Anyone who sees a solution that I'm not seeing? Or the cheapest way to do any of these two?

Please would really appreciate your advice in this moment.
