Hi Pawneese
just renewed my passport (UK)
i used Key visa who had my passport on the 22 december and money on the 23 .
they delivered it to VFS ON THE 17 JANUARY (earliest appointment they could get)
came back to them on 24 february and i received it from them to-day 26 feb by ems
so not bad as it was only 5 and a half weeks from delivery to VFS and return

You have to go through several steps to get to the actual info page.
It it is here, https://www.passport.service.gov.uk/overseas/information/thailand/renew/adult
You send a email to request your appointment.
i have got to a page but see no dates so i presume i put dates in and click send and wait reply saying it is for passport renewal

Ubonjoe ok but if I go to immigration to get a 60 days to visit wife will they require one although it was a straight in/out . I need the 60 days as due to the virus I need to have the 400000 in the bank for 2 months as I think this is the safest was now to stay here. so best I do not fall foul of the law . last in/out was mid january

iam due a 90day border run 19 april with a non o based on marriage I understand I could get 60 days to visit wife but could I put 400000 in the bank and get an extension based on marriage ? my visa does not run out until end of October. also does the 400000 have to come from abroad thanks

hi brittim my visa expiry is 27 October but I would need to do a border run end of September based on my return date from the UK which would take me to end of December could I do another 60 days or does that only apply up until the expiry date of the visa
-
I have a multi entry non o based on marriage am due a border run mid april, I need to go to the UK in june so a 60 days to visit wife would be fine for me.
my question is if it works out ok I could get through until late December could I then do a further 60 days to visit wife taking me to late February before I need to renew visa thanks
-
been a few year since doing but now have a multi entry non o based on marriage .
need to do 90 days is it still only cross and return same day

Brit man too
the thai baht does seem to be an exception but I do not think it value will stay high . For now it is seen as a safe haven ! Time will tell ! With the age of retirement rising in many countries expat numbers I think will fall not just here but to many countries! As for tourists travel insurance is something you have to pay up front and claim when you return home !

Soon people from the western world will mostly not be able to afford to retire here as currencies are falling and requirements to stay rising , I hear the Philippines is a popular choice for many brits leaving Thailand as the UK has a reciprocal agreement with them meaning pensions rise every year and free medical .
The world is changing , it has been said do not burn your bridges and by the looks of what is now happening good advice ! Hopefully the thai government will let those of us who are older with long term wives be exempt from rule changes , Iam ok as money has been invested to look after myself and wife and my wife when the enevitable happens ! Where I live not many farangs as nearly all seem to have gone
