I need to renew my US passport any help?
Answer summary
To renew your US passport in Thailand, you can follow the instructions provided by the US Embassy. Most expats recommend using the mail-in service, which is straightforward and can take about two weeks. If you have urgent needs, you can also make an appointment to renew in person at the US Embassy in Bangkok. It's advised to visit the official embassy website for detailed steps and requirements, and consider including a prepaid return envelope for expedited processing.

It’s not difficult. The US embassy no longer takes in person appointments unless you are in urgent need.

Just google to find the page. They walk you through it. I did it for a friend. You mail it to the Bangkok US Embassy and also include a postage return. I think I used a prepaid Thai Post.

It’s all straight forward

If you visit your embassy in Bangkok, they can issue you a new passport within a few days. Just note that the place of issue will be listed as Bangkok so if you’re okay with that, it’s a quick solution.

Todd Capron In the past, the USA would crush any country moving away from the petrodollar. Saddam went off the petrodollar. We killed him. Qaddafi went of the petrodollar. We killed him. The USA kicked Russia from the dollar and petrodollar. Russia survived. Now other countries are not afraid of the US and leaving the petrodollar. The future looks grim for the USA.
Thom **********
Thom **********
Todd Capron basically biden used the dollar as a weapon trying to defeat Russia. The problem is Russia survived. The entire world was put on notice that the USA would use the dollar as a weapon if the USA did not like a country. China now buys Russian oil in local currency. China buys food from Brazil using local currency. The USA used the entire world to subsidize the dollar. The petrodollar has lost 20% of its volume. The USA is going down. support our president or we are headed toward a crash.
Thom **********
Thom **********
Todd Capron You failed to mention that biden left the US economy in the worst condition in history. DJ is trying to save the dollar. If the dollar crashes, people like you will blame DJ. DJ is trying to steal from the world to save the USA. I support the USA stealing from the world.

Andrew Romine it's not liberal, it's just plain tacky, narcissistic, and cheap. 70 percent of the country doesn't care for dude and he wants to put his face on passports and currency. Get out of here. Can't believe people follow him like the People's Temple.

Andrew Romine I'm sure you wouldn't want statistics to get in the way of your hate, but it looks like more Dems get passports in the US than Repubs. Regardless of who you love and who you hate in the political arena, if you don't think it's absurd that he wants his name and picture on everything, then you're honestly not looking at things objectively.
