, thanks - I am not sure some of the respondents totally understand the question that I posed - it is an odd one and I have also seen that it is only EU countries and Schengen (had to look that one up) that have the ruling - thanks again.
, I am contemplating it but where does you answer come from, getting a new passport(prior to travel date) has multiple implications attached and that is what i am trying to avoid if I don’t have to. Thanks for the help though
Thank you - just to clarify the question is about Thailand accepting the “bolted on 9 months “ element that makes the passport 10 years and 9months with the recorded expiry date shown as October 2026 - thereby giving 13 month validity remaining when I return to Thailand - when UK left EEC countries in Europe stopped accepting the “extra” and put expiry 10 years after issue - that is what leaves me in doubt ?
, sorry - Bangkok want a lot more than that when we applied recently - walked away with Retirement Visa - now putting together lots of photos of us together in house outside house, out together etc.
Go to Gov.uk website and it takes you through a series of questions, in essence you have 2 options a visitor visa which I believe is 6 months or apply for permanent status which can be very protracted.
