Can I renew my U.S. passport while on a tourist visa in Thailand?
Does anyone know if the U.S. Embassy can do passport renewals for those on a tourist visa? Specifically a 60-day Covid extension.
The Embassy website doesn't specify, but states applicants must "reside in Thailand", which I do... but only as a tourist in a short term rental.
I'm running out of passport pages and would prefer to just renew here while I'm on holiday.

Answer summary
The U.S. Embassy in Thailand can assist with passport renewals for individuals residing in Thailand on a tourist visa, including those on a 60-day Covid extension. Users have reported positive experiences with the service, highlighting that the process can be completed in about five days. If the issue is simply a lack of pages and not an expiring passport, it may also be possible to add pages to an existing passport without a full renewal.

if your passport isnt actually expiring and you just need extra pages, you can probably just ask to get an extra book of pages put in your passport. i did this at the us embassy in bangkok many years ago, it was a pretty easy process.
