Getting a Thai passport in Oz


Recommended Posts

So everyone's passports it's seems have expired

 

I have to say getting a Thai passport in Thailand is very easy and simple process

 

However in Oz I've been worried

 

All the local consulates have closed, and the Thai Consulate in Canberra isn't processing passports, so it's everyone go to Sydney

 

The waiting time is over 2 months!

 

But all you need is your old passport,

 

I have been very dubious but 2 family members that's all they took and they got their new passports processed

 

The 2 months booking time though is a long wait!

 

Try calling the Thai Embassy in Canberra - that's a joke

Just before the old one expired.

It got so mired in the mud, MLG had to get a member of the government in Laos, to tell the Canberra staff to cease and desist, to send the passport back to NZ from Canberra so she could go to Laos and do it there with no issues.

We even paid a donation to the Canberra crowd.

They do a semi annual visit to the NZ Laos tempe in Auckland, as they are supposed to have NZ under the Aus wing.

Next time they come I'll be cornering the bloke and asking for my donation back.

Curiously, I get some small respect at the temple, on account of my wife's family name.

I’ve heard from others that getting a Thai passport in Australia can be a headache with all the consulates closed and long wait times. If you're worried about your passport or any document details while dealing with the embassy, you might want to check out https://www.idanalyzer.com. It’s helped me verify and keep things organized when I needed to sort out documents.

We did 5 of them, Australia was taking 6 months, Thai embassy took 2 weeks, same same in Thailand for speed same system used. Move from desk to desk each time ticking of what you need and what was checked.

 

Fast and efficient.

 

Have always over 20 years found Thai passport process pretty efficient.
