Not necessarily true. My passport had a validity of a year and a half at the time of applying, and they only made a note of it in the remarks. Sadly, this doesn't help the OP, as her passport expires in 8 months and they clearly state that at least one year is required.
Nope, I do not have a point. π Yours may have been made in Sweden but was issued in Bangkok. For example, my passport says "Minister of Foreign Affairs" as authority.
Is it possible that Sweden does the same as my home country, the Netherlands? Even though I got my new passport through the embassy in Madrid, the passport is made and issued in the Netherlands. Then they ship it to the embassy who pass it om to me. If that is the case, that is the reason why you rightly wrote Sweden.
You can book a slot online, but needs to be booked well in advance. So, I've never done that βΊοΈ Google Bangkok immigration and you should be able to find their website. Sorry, I don't have it from the top of my head.
I went there today for my 90 day report, arrived just after 8.30 and was out after 2 and a half hours. Just enjoy the little food market they have and have some breakfast, makes the waiting a lot more bearable.
Search for my report of my application in HCMC, I was in similar situation and included a cover letter explaining the situation and included the signed contract of the job which was still to start. I was approved.
