Need to renew your Malaysian passport in Switzerland ?? Here is the answer

Hello The One,

Thank you for your email.

You have 2 possibilities of having your passport renewed, you come to the Embassy and fill up the application form (signed and thumbprinted), attach 2 passport size pictures with navy blue background (3.5 x 5 cm), bring your current passport and Malaysian IC, as well as your Swiss Permit. Additionally you have to bring the copy of the payment from your bank. Payment of 50 British pounds must be paid to:

Malaysian High Commission
HSBC Bank
19 Grosvenor Place
Hyde Park Corner
London SW1X7HT
UK
IBAN: GB 51 MIDL 40031711144979
BIC: MIDLGB 2106 N
Sort Code: 40-03-17
Account No. 11144979

We will forward your application to London and it will take about 3 weeks till your new passport gets processed and sent back to the Embassy.

Your other option would be to fly to London and have your passport renewed there, if you come in the morning, it will be ready by the afternoon.

Should you decide to have it done here, please call me up so I can set up an appointment for you.

If you have further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.


kind regards,

Eva

  1. FYI I will renew my Malaysian passport next week with the Bern Embassy, and Mrs Bernhard has kindly notified me that it is now also acceptable pay the fee via Bank Transfer - with a receipt print out. I just did it via e-banking.

  2. Hi Suriya

    That's good to hear. Save the hassle of having to bring with you and send by post sterling, which I have to save a very awkward way of doing it.
