You can get expedited service if you’re within a certain timeframe

I'm in Portland, Oregon and the website says expedited service takes three to five weeks. I remember it being a lot faster than that

Get the non imm O evisa before you arrive. Doesnt take up any pages. Half a page will do for the yearly extention of stay.

Surprised your passport is in date. I'd have gotten a new one not sure but if you don't get the visa you want most of the other ones require you to leave and come back every 3 months. Day trip to Cambodia 3 times a year and 1 over night stay in Laos once a year. Good luck have fun

Why not just get a new passport? A fresh 10 year passport will have plenty of pages for any visas you might want to have in the future.

Getting a passport while you're overseas is much more expensive and takes other longer generally.

Some passports these days are taking one month to 3 months to get while overseas. Which is 4-6 times longer than while at home.

Darn it. I'm just looking at the website now and even expedited passport services is 3 to 5 weeks here. So I don't even think I could get a new passport here in time.

Is one blank page in my passport enough for entry into Thailand as a British citizen?
