Had to request urgent and compassionate on Friday, and it’s come through. Now to wait for DHL to do their job.

Has anyone been able to get an urgent passport on compassionate grounds?

I need my replacement passport urgently, as my residency visa is going to expire. My lawyers and MP are involved but we seem to be stalled completely.

The above was the only advice HMPO could give, or get an emergency travel document. The embassy in the country I live have been less than helpful.

The mental/physical impact of this is really starting to hit me. No passport = no residency visa renewal = work visa automatically cancelled…No home, job etc.

The support for citizens abroad has been quite frankly disgusting. People I know are astonished, given they (multiple nationalities) can get new passports at the embassy in times from a few hours to a few days…I truly hope all other ex-pats are able to resolve their issues soon. There’s no doubting your situations are more important than someone in the UK missing a holiday. Livelihoods are at stake.

I need some help of who to contact, as I’m getting frustrated of sitting on hold for 2 hours plus and the embassy isn’t responding.

I need my replacement passport urgently (presently on week 8) as I need to renew my residency visa for the country I live in. The irony being, if I miss the visa renewal I have no method of leaving the country anyway!!!

All information I get is wish washed, and I’m unable to speak to anyway/have a contact email.

Pulling my hair out here as it’s urgent I have a form of ID. I had to get a new passport due to excessive wear and no pages left due to stamps.

Thanks in advance if anyone can support me.
