Lost passport help

[harrygrout]

Hi all, I'm after some advise regards lost passport.. I was here on a 60day SETV and today I went to jontien immigration to extend it for another 30... I've made copies next door and filled in the forms using the table with example forms just inside the door.. I've took the forms to counter and she's stapled them together and by time I've realised I've not got my passport it's no longer on the table... Been and got a police report and plan to go back Monday and see if it's been handed it... Any advise how to proceed if it's not there Monday ... TIA

Contact your embassy. They deal with this all the time. Not too big of an issue really. Just a pain to jump through the hoops required to get it replaced.

1.  Contact Consular Section of the British Embassy; show them the Police report.  They will cancel your lost passport.

2.  Enquire there whether there's sufficient time for you to be issued with a new passport prior to your departure.  That work is now done by VFS - see  https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports

 3. If that's not possible in your time frame, request an Emergency Travel document from Consular Section.  See https://www.gov.uk/emergency-travel-document

2.  Take Emergency Travel document/new passport to Immigration, together with Consular Section paperwork and the Police report.  That will update your computer record to show that you will be leaving Thailand on a different document to that which you entered with.

I lost my passport two trips ago. Backtracking I found it at the Currency Exchange I used the day before.

I know only use my AUS Drivers Licence to get money.

ETD is valid for only 1 specific date.Your journey home...Don't get your dates wrong otherwise the ETD will be invalid.Border Control in UK will keep your ETD on your arrival in UK.

I've read you get 5 journeys to get yourself home. But cannot leave and return to thailand on a ETD

You can't go swanning around on an ETD...It's only valid on the specific dates that you are travelling on to get you home..Your best bet is to go to the British Embassy in Bkk with all your travel documents/evidence of flight reservations, Police reports and ask if you have enough time to apply for a new Passport.Unfortunately it involves a lot of fucking about and cursing and waiting in line.It's very frustrating dealing with them but you just have to be patient and try not to lose your cool.
