UK Visa Application Centre is moving to new location
From 26 March 2014, British nationals should submit their

Passport Office in the UK for processing. All the information needed to complete
the passport application process, including the address and contact details for
the UK Visa Application Centre, is available on the GOV.UK website at:
https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports. Those who cannot find the information on
the website can call the Passport Adviceline on +44 300 222 0000 (operates from

Urgent Travel
If a British national needs to travel urgently and their
normal passport is not available they should contact the Consular Assistance
team in Bangkok, telephone +66 (0)2 305 8333 or email consularen
[email protected]. In certain circumstances consular staff may be able
to issue an Emergency Travel Document, but this is not a substitute for a full
UK passport.
About applying for a British passport
- British nationals should avoid applying for their passport
at the last minute. An application to renew a passport can be made at any time.
Any remaining validity up to nine months will be transferred from the old
passport to the new one.
- It is not advised to book travel before receiving the new
passport. The British Government cannot accept responsibility for costs incurred
if travel is booked and subsequently cancelled before the passport has been
received. Information on processing times can be found on the GOV.UK website at:
https://www.gov. uk/overseas-passports.
- The passport and supporting documents will be delivered to the UK Visa
Application Centre - applicants must collect them in person. They will contact
the applicant - using the details in the application form - when the passport
and documents are ready to collect. The applicant must bring photo ID with them
to collect the passport.
