What is the current status of UK passport applications, and can I travel while waiting for a new passport?

Richard ********

Does anyone know for sure whether you can or can't travel internationally while waiting for your new one? They didn't cut the corners of my current one saying they would do that when the new one arrives. There is no other marking so do they notify Thai Immigration?

But, as someone has said here already, check with your local immigration office as each is a law unto themselves sometimes. Also, I did this 3 or 4 years ago and things have a habit of changing

I don't remember since I go through the 65k pretty quick! It certainly wasn't 400 or 800K

I did that a few years back with no problem. Just make sure the end balence is the same as shown on the bank letter. The first time I made the mistake of using my ATM card during the 7 days my bank required to provide 12 months of statements.
