Home » News from the Netherlands and Belgium » New tool for applying for a Dutch passport or ID card in Thailand
There is a new tool for passports and ID cards on the Netherlands worldwide. The tool makes it easier for visitors to apply for a passport or ID card abroad (Thailand) or at a border municipality. Thanks to the tool, you can create a personal checklist online of the documents you need for your application.
You can find the new tool at the application pages for passports and ID cards of all countries worldwide. There you can also read all country-specific requirements that are important for your application.
For example, for Thailand, proof of legal residence must always be submitted by means of a valid visa (and documents that support this).
Dutch nationals living abroad can obtain a passport or ID card from a large number of Dutch representations, such as embassies and consulates. Or at one of the so-called border municipalities in the Netherlands. Many different documents are involved in such an application. If you have gone through the tool, you will know exactly which documents you need. That saves time again.

Thanks, editors for this info!!
Applying for a passport at the embassy is easy.
However, the price is outrageous.
The total price for fees etc came to me at 165 euros.
Initially, it is also indicated in Thai baht.
After payment with cash card, there was also a conversion to euros with a very bad rate.
It is understandable that a passport costs money, but compared to the Netherlands it is a big difference.
And it was still handled by an English speaking Thai lady. Embassy must cover costs.
Ah, Henk, for extending a residence permit in the Netherlands at the IND due to residence with a Dutch partner, you pay € 240.=! The permit, a plastic card in driver's license format, is valid for 5 years, while nowadays a Dutch passport lasts for 10 years.
Paid with my ING credit card at the NL Embassy in Euros. Was done via the Netherlands from ING bank to Foreign Affairs. No extra costs.
In Kathu, Phuket, a bitterballen drink will be served at Eddy's restaurant on Friday 8 June!
The new ambassador and the consul will also be here.
And is there a possibility to apply for a passport
Just a question I have a retirement visa and will be applying for a new passport next week, now it says on the side of the embassy that you need documents that support this. But I wouldn't know which one. I thought retirement visa was sufficient, please respond, thanks peter stallinga
It is indeed quite confusing how this has been set up.
It is written that you must prove that you are legally resident in the country where you live.
According to them, this should be done with:
(1) a valid visa (and documents supporting it)
of
(2) a valid residence permit
In my opinion, you can only prove that you are legally residing in the country by showing a valid residence period/residence permit.
This is possible :
– be a period of stay obtained with an entry (in your passport)
– an extension of a previous period of stay (in your passport)
– or the certificates of Permanent Resident. (Here you have extra documents including alien red book – maybe that's what they mean)
but after all, these are also all valid residence permits, in other words, what they require in (2).
What they ask for in (1) (a valid visa) says nothing at all about whether or not you are legally residing in the country at that time.
With a valid visa you can of course obtain a period of residence (residence permit).
Only the authorized period of stay will then determine whether or not you are legally residing in the country, not the valid visa.
Ex. This way you can be in possession of a perfectly valid visa, e.g. METV, Non-Immigrant Multiple Entry Visa. But when (after 60 or 90 days) a new stay period has not been activated (“borderrun”) or extended in time, you are in “overstay”.
You are then illegally in the country, despite having a valid visa in your passport.
Maybe you should write down your experiences with applying for a new passport for your compatriots on the blog.
That will benefit everyone.
Good luck in advance.
When applying at the embassy, I only had to fill in the application form.
1 passport photo and hand over the pennies.
No questions or forms.
Pick up was possible after about 2 weeks.
Shipping was also possible, by the way.
Well, I think it usually will.
I'm just responding to Peter Stalinga's question and what people write on that website.
It does not seem abnormal to me that an embassy would check whether the applicant is legally in the country at the time of the application.
