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!

Just another parrot in here reaching the 180 day point of a DTV. who's looking for the easiest way a british citizen in bangkok can extend another 180 days outside of a flight or visiting Bangkok immigration? Not just a location that I should border bounce at but an actual simplified journey planner. I can be up as early as needed. Apologies if it comes off as demanding but I prefer real time verified answers instead of finding a post about border running 6 months ago. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What number do I contact for a british citizen who has applied for a thai pass and hasn’t had it approved yet? Is there such a number?

The pass is for my dad who is coming to visit me so if I need to call a Thai number to see whats happening then I can.

Thanks
