Hello Everyone, thanks in advance.

Does anyone have recent experience renewing their USA passport from within Thailand? If so, how long does it take lately? 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary
Recent experiences indicate that renewing a USA passport from within Thailand typically takes about 3 to 4 weeks. Passports are returned with a plastic page and the old passport is also sent back for transferring long-stay stamps, along with a letter to assist with the immigration process.

Do they send your old passport back to you as well, so you can transfer your long stay stamps?

 yes and they will send a letter, since you should have an active and current visa. The letter asks the immigration department to please transfer to the new passport.

 Thats great. Thank you. Was there a huge agency fee? Or just the regular passport fee through the embassy?

 I did all mine through the US embassy in Bangkok by mail. They have a complete list of required actions and procedures. Since you are sending your original passport to the embassy by mail make sure you make copies of your passport.
