Can I use my Thai driver's license for domestic flights in Thailand while my UK passport is being renewed?

Bill *********

@Vincent ***********

, no I didn’t. I applied to ‘renew my current passport with no changes’. I had to supply some documents, as listed on the documents required pages. Plus copies of every page of the passport to be replaced.

I can only assume that if you are applying under another section, like changing name etc, then they may want to see it. But, If you are applying the same as I did, and you have your old passport to present (not lost or stolen) then I have no idea why they would ask for it..sorry

I applied though the online web page for applying to replace a UK passport from overseas. Complete the application, gather the supporting docs then apply for an interview through vfs global. They accept it if all is ok and send it to uk. The return takes about 6-8 weeks ( or did in June) and you go and collect your passport. I am in Bangkok so I used the Trendy Building Office. But there are several throughout thailand.

Not sure if they accept postal applications.

I kept my old passport till the new one arrived… then they cancel the old one on issuing the new one.

Where, why did you send it away?

What advice can you give for driving a car from Italy to Thailand, including customs and import regulations?

Bill *********

I am pretty sure (although not 100%) that cars in Thailand must be Right Hand Drive… just assuming that because you are coming from Italy that it will be Left Hand Drive.

How long does it take to process a re-entry permit for a Non-B visa in Thailand?

Bill *********

Just been to Nonthaburi immigration. Place was heaving, car park under about 3 - 4 inches of water. Took just over 1 hour to get an exit/re-entry.

How can I transfer GBP to a Thai GBP account using Transferwise or Revolut?

Bill *********

@Keith *****

, I tried that a few years ago..via Lloyds Bank.. wanted to transfer money to FCD account with Kassikorn. Bangkok Bank (main clearing bank in thailand) wanted 50 or 60 pounds to clear it here in thailand. On top of the Kassikorn costs. Rejected it back to UK. Now I just issue a cheque, that clears in about 14 - 21 days and only costs about 20 pounds total.

Have not tried it since, but, things may have changed...
