I put this as a comment to a post a few minutes ago. On reflection it is so important to British passport holders wanting to renew/replace their passport it deserves a post of its own. 1. The British Embassy has nothing whatever to do with these matters. 2. VFS act as agents for His Majesty's Passport Office in Thailand. NOW THE IMPORTANT BIT: VFS ARE RUNNING DOWN THEIR Trendy Building HQ in BANGKOK (Sukhumvit Soi 13) where they have been forever and a day. You are still OK "ish" at Trendy Building to 18.3.24. From 24.3.24 address will be VFS Thailand, The Shoppes at Belle Grand Rama 9, 131/1, 141/1, Unit BS003-BS003/1, 1st Floor, Rama 9, Huay Kwang, Bangkok, 10310. The Chiang Mai VFS office motors on as before, in fact to my eye has longer hours. However though the costs have risen a lot there ie +GBP76.50 as against Bangkok. Wherever, it is needed to book an appointment. I'm guessing that may now be difficult (?) for Trendy Building at the moment.

My son sent off his application for his British passport renewal in March and has had no response to date. He received a digital receipt with a reference number for VFS Global that could be used for tracking his application. After opening up the VFS website and finding the tracking page, many attempts to input the reference number in different formats have led to no success. Anyone else had similar issues and found out how to do it correctly. The reference number looks like this in letters (L) and numbers; LLL/LLL/NNNNNN/NNNN/NN.

Looking for a service for renewing my sons british passport.not wanting to go bangkok if can do without seen a post a few months ago and cannot find it where it mentioned a person who does this and had good reviews any help would be appreciated thanks

Hi there, I'm British living in Thailand. I'm trying to do a renewal for my daughter's British passport but it's asking for supporting documents for proof of address like educational / school records or health card with address on it. Has anyone renewed a child British passport in Bangkok before? Under 11. I'm having a lot of difficulty with the school as they are saying something stupid that they can't provide due to her not attending school during covid but she's been learning online there whenever they offered it

..

I have just received a new British passport in Hua Hin and old passport now cancelled. How do I go about transferring visa from old to new passport, is there any paperwork to complete before I visit Imigration?

I am renewing my British Passport in Uk, what documents do I need to bring in order to transfer my 1 year non o visa into new passport in Thailand. Is there anything I need to ask for here in uk to provide when transferring from old to new passport.

Thanks

Hi! Does anyone know if you can get a passport renewed at the British consulate in Chiang Mai? Thanks in advance 🙏

So I've got an appointment in Bangkok on Monday to renew my British passport as I'm on the last page.

I see that a requirement is to show proof of address.

I have a rental contract, however I'm not a "permanent" resident here in visa terms. Would this be sufficient enough?

All the bills etc are in my landlady's name.

Could anyone confirm if a rental agreement is good enough?

Thankyou in advance!

Does anyone know what documents are accepted when applying to renew a British passport when you are on an ED visa?

It says it’s I need something for proof of address by government or employer. My bills come in the owners name so no letter from government and no employer to use.

Support of learning from Muay Thai gym, can I use a copy of the application for ED visa extension papers -it has my address handwritten on?

Anyone done this recently?

Just a quick one.when I renew my British passport from Bangkok, am I still allowed to travel?

I think not as your passport is cancelled even though you still have your original passport you can't use it ?
