, They actually do!

the lady in CW that I talked and left my docs called me after 3 days and wanted new pics!!

She said without new pics your application will not pass!! Even the photo on the application form (passport size) should be new!

Just a tip: Make sure that your photos are new (not the same from last year) 🙂

This is not what I recommend to anybody but it is my solution to get rid of small headache 🙂

I usually let my wife (Thai) to check in hotel with her Id (No trace of me /my passport copy in registration of hotel) while traveling around. It has worked for me in few years , no problem until now.

Good luck

, with his/her original signature !

Note: copy of signature is not accepted

Off topic: Why not getting new passport from UK embassy ? It looks like that you have enough time! (of course if UK embassy are effective ...)

@Ellie ******

, I might be wrong but if you stay in Hotel, you don't need to do TM30 by yourself.

I know there are some problem with landlords and private residence , but hotels has been done this all the time according to law .

"According to section 38 of the 1979 immigration act, “House owners, heads of household, landlords or managers of hotels who accommodate foreign nationals on a temporary basis who stay in the kingdom legally, must notify the local immigration authorities within 24 hours from the time of arrival of the foreign national."

Hotel in Thailand are obligated (according to law) to do that (usually online).

honestly, I am not sure you get fine in case hotel miss that! usually they are the one that get fine.

maybe others can confirm that.

@Evan *******

, Yes, it was my forth time 🙂

if it is your first time, then make sure everything is in order .

I was in CW for same thing yesterday, Had my "khor lor 2" from 3 years ago (No update) , No question asked! they didn't even looked at any other original docs! the lady said, No need to waste time, it is covid time!!

the process was less than 10 min, but I waited in queue for 2 hours (dropped in, had no appointment).

Good luck

This is what is requested for transferring visa to new passport (I did it few month ago at CW).

hope it help.
