Thai Passport Renewal - Closed!?

[IanB]

We’ve been trying to get an appointment at the consulate for a long time with several cancellations. Now it seems they are not processing Thai passport renewals at all. Not sure when they will start again.

My wife’s passport has expired and we need to extend her leave to remain in April! Any ideas?

thanks

IanB you said your wife's ILR needs to be extended is that because the date on the card is up in April do you have to go through everything again or do they just renew, after all it is Indefinite lave to remain
