DO NOT do the photocopies of every page in your passport, including unused pages, in B & W. They want them in colour. Photocopies in the Trendy Buildings cost 20 Baht each. Extra 500 Baht for my wife who went for me.

5) Photocopies of your current passport (every page)
Now this is where things start to get expensive. You need to photocopy - in colour - EVERY single page of your existing passport. For me that was a whopping 30 pages at 20 baht a copy. 600 baht! Ouch!

It would be cheaper to scan and print them at home (if like me you have a printer that will also scan).

I did have my passport photocopied at home, every page, including all none used pages, but in B&W. Why does colour make a difference when copying?

More difficult to fake, I guess.

Being as I ain't gotta printer I emailed my appointment confirmation to my missus phone. So all she has to do is show, on her phone, the 'appointment time'. Oh no, not good enough. They want it as a full A4 page print out. Wife has to leave, go down and get a photocopy of the appointment document, and then rejoin the queue to obtain my passport renewal. Good job she went for me as I'd have blown gasket.

I forgot to mention. Do NOT sign or write on the back of your submitted new passport photographs. They don't like it.

Got an email from Bangkok HMPO yesterday declaring my new passport is ready for collection. Total time taken, 2 weeks to the day.
