Myanmar Embassy in Thailand issued a statement that token will be issued only after the facial recognition system is used to verify for passport renewal.

 The Myanmar Embassy to Thailand announced that PJ passports in Thailand which will expire on 31 March, 2024, must be renewed from 2 August.

The appointment tokens for the passport renewal will be given at the old office gate (the former location) from 8 am to 12 pm every Saturday starting from 29 July according to the statement issued by the Myanmar Embassy in Thailand.

Those who come to pick up the appointment token must bring their passports, and the token will be issued only after the facial recognition system is used to verify. Therefore, it has been notified that withdrawals by agents will not be allowed at all, it is reported.

All visitors are requested to come only in the morning of July 29 because there are only a small number of PJ passport holders and line up in an orderly manner to obtain tokens, it said.
