The Royal Gazette website on Wednesday published an announcement by the Foreign Affairs Ministry regarding the new fee rate for making a passport.
The announcement, signed by Foreign Affairs Minister Don Pramudwinai on February 23, stipulates the new fee rate will be effective from March 11.
Here are the new rates:
• Bt500 for making a 3-year passport
• Bt1,000 for a 5-year passport
• Bt1,500 for a 10-year passport
• Bt1,000 for issuing an official passport

The Foreign Affairs Ministry will exercise its discretion on whether to wave the fee for urgent or emergency passports due to humanitarian or government-related reasons.
