You get it from Immigration/Passport Control Gate 1 - this is also the Thai booth. Sometimes they let you use that entrance (its the door on the left) otherwise you enter through the foreigner exit and explain you want a re entry permit and you hop under the barriers to that one. Make sure you have the fee - normally 300-400 THB more than immigration. And don’t forget the photo! Takes about 15 minutes which is way quicker than the immigration office took me. They have always been super helpful and nice

That is super helpful. Tyvm. My *first renewal based on the same visa as the OP’s is due in September.

@Tod ********

yep know the book situation - so the TM30 is just copy passport various bits, TM6 chanote and house book copies. Plus probably a photo? Tyvm as ever.

That is true for an ETD. There are UK Emergency Passports that Embassy’s and Consulates have. Trust me I had one issued by the British Consulate in Cape Town. The reason to issue one must be compelling and its at the discretion of the Consul-General or Ambassador. But the poster is getting an Emergency Passport from Chile so all good.

@Tod ********

I once used an emergency travel document with an expired emergency passport. Not something you should aspire to. 🤦‍♂️

An emergency passport is different to an Emergency Travel Document - for a UK passport holder. An Emergency Passport is a 6 page passport with one year validity. An Emergency Travel document is supplemental piece of paper. So if emergency passport you will be fine with Immigration.

- This one has been referred by both press and government to as “Grace Period” to suggest that “this is it” It differentiates it from the amnesty in peoples perception. Whilst they might both have the same legal weight and designation. “You have time to make plans now, leave, convert or acquire a visa” please. I think maybe a British English rather than American English thing? “Grace” entirely appropriate here, hence its frequent use in the press. Thank you as ever though for your free and super helpful advice.

Its hugely frustrating waiting with just 9, I think working days before 31st, but as

Robert Lagas and others patiently point out - speculation is futile. Eat “Wait And See Pudding” until its clarified.

Still mostly in love too... 😉
