If you still have time, you can do them by post. But you need to send 14 days before the due date.

Supplies of old ones are being used up, so you could get either.

Get your school to confirm it on headed paper.

That's a shame. There shouldn't be any problem in getting a new visa, but make sure you cover all the bases in the application especially her reason to return to Thailand. Some 2nd applications are rejected because they assume UKVI will refer to the first application. They don't - the 2nd application is considered on its own merits. Good luck.

If she does go back to the UK on her current visa, she will need to explain why she made a 2nd trip when she applies for her next visa. As long as she had a good reason, it won't be an issue. There is no limit to the number of Visitor visas however she can only stay for a maximum of 6 months in any one year.

If the visa is still valid she can travel to the UK again on it, as long as she leaves before it expires. UK Visitor visas are multiple entry and valid for 6 months.

No fines or bans for babies but they do get the overstay stamp in their passport. I got an O visa for my 1 year old to be safe.

Or just pay an agent to do it for you.

As Tod Daniels says, UK passport renewals are done via VFS in Bangkok and actually issued by HMPO in Liverpool. It has nothing to do with the British Embassy.

He can use an agent and then he doesn't have to make the trip to Bangkok
