It is critically important that you disclose your passport/nationality, in order for anyone to give you relevant advice.

@Ryan *******

I see, bugger. Oh well, an emergency passport to repatriate is your only option. A long shot, and I’m assuming you have a scanned copy of your old passport, phone the consulate and ask is a copy sufficient proof?

It’s never a good plan to intentionally overstay. Go to Laos for a few days and re-enter, so you get another 60 days visa free (assuming that is what you qualify for).

Firstly, yes, an emergency Aussie passport can only be used to fly home to Australia. But you have lots of time. You can go online (find the “real” Aussie website in Bangkok), and apply for a new normal passport. You fill in an online application form, then follow the bouncing ball. I am an Aussie living abroad (Hong Kong), and my new passports take about two weeks from start to finish. Good luck.

Yes, no, it depends … on what type of visa (or exemption) you are entering by.

@David *******

What Jon said.

Also in the interests of clarity, if you stay for “two full months” (without an extension) you will overstay. Your visa exemption period is 60 days (59 nights). People have reported getting caught out by this before. Good luck.

To save everyone a bunch of typing, here’s the answers:

Yes.

No.

It depends (the nationality of your passport determines which).

I realise it’s too late for this application, and you’ll have to reapply, but in certain fonts there’s two common traps, O (Oscar) / 0 (zero), and upper case I (India) / lower case l (lima). I work around this by using copy-paste from a reliable original text. I say reliable TEXT because copy-paste from an image (such as a Passport scan) can transpose these similar looking characters. Good luck.

@Swati ********

No worries.
