spirit_of_town_hall Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 In Germany you can pay a premium and have your passport issued within about a fortnight, however its about two and a half times the standard price. STH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the visa is the hard part...must have all the info correct at time of lodgement ..or delays will follow for sure. My wifes passport expired march 1st...we leave April 8th for BKK..lucky i saw the dates..i always use it to spell her name on any docs.....such a long name i can never rember all the letters. Anyway got it renewed in under a day...they just put a stamp in the book !...easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Two months - wow! Amazing isn't it! The one thing you would expect to take ages in Thailand is actually amazingly organized! JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally 4-5 weeks here in Belgium, speed delivery in 8-10 at a VERY high premium...... GF had her passport issued in under a week, extended last november in 40 minutes, just a stamp and a few baht..... BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendlyfiend2 Posted April 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Hi guys, thanks for all the answers, well it turns out it will take at least a week. Depending on circumstances could be less. House and residence registration papers have to be verified etc.. Seeing we only had a week it won't be possible because of the Visa.. Actually the visa application we were told would be a breeze, possibly issued in a day. That's after considering her circumstances and background.. ie. current uni-student on semester break, funds availiable in current bank account, and letter from parents working in public service etc. etc.. The main problem is we would've had to wait to get the passport before the visa application will even be looked at. Oh well, next time I guess. Will have a rather dull 2 weeks in Sydney alone. Things could be worse I guess. At least I will get out of the hot weather and avoid the coming Songkran season... Cheers and thanks again.

Redbaron Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Bad luck FF2. Don't know your situation but Miss Red's passport was issued in a few days. Aussie tourist visas in a matter of minutes. Good luck for next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
