Re: Renewing a UK passport from Thailand
^^ also collected mine this morning and it was no more than 10 min in and out. Taking your lead, I'm sending our HR lady tomorrow to transfer my visa. It'll probably cost me a lunch but much better than hanging around at the one stop centre myself.

Re: Renewing a UK passport from Thailand
Well - I can report a successful "FAIL"................
Guess what - they wanted the dreaded letter from the British Embassy + 5 other items..........
This was at Chaeng Wattana, not the one stop place.
Went to the Embassy this morning, (Fortunately 5 mins walk from where I'm currently working), was in and out in under 10 minutes with the letter - free
Anyways - the office boss is confident the transfer of the visa will be achieved tomorrow.
Isn't life fun

I could not release my passport to my HR lady until yesterday. I pre warned her that a letter from the British Embassy would be required. She smiled and went on her merry way to the One Stop Visa and work Permit offices at Chamchuri Square
A little over one hour and she was back with the WP successfully transferred to my new passport and without any need for a letter from the Embassy Go Figure!

Only smiled at me on this occasion but maybe she opened the company wallet

So - the new Passport has the Visa transferred into it.Terry wrote:My secretary reports success today. Visa transferred to new passport.
Today we went to the Labour office and got the Work Permit revised and extended.
Next week it's back to immigration to get the Visa extended in parallel as well
In the past, we got all this done at the 'one stop', but due to Contract changes and other labour intensive complications we have to do it at the separate offices.
What a bloody caper...................

Re: Renewing a UK passport from Thailand
My reply was to confirm the appointment time. They were very good. Due to travelling I wanted an appointment the next day, at a specific time.....no problem. The service seems very efficient. I received my passport within 3 weeks, which included the Christmas & New Year period. I got both an email and telephone call when the passport was available for collection.

Re: Renewing a UK passport from Thailand
its now been 48hrs since I made an appointment and still no answer, I spoke to some one on Tuesday and he told me that when he made his booking last week they got back to him straight away!!!! I received the conformation that they have the email, what else can I do? it seams to be taking a long time.
