What should I do if I can't get an education visa due to a full passport in Thailand?

FFS it looks like it has free pages, how was he to know that blank page doesn't count.

the US Embassy is worthless...the Passport they will tell you takes 14 - 21 days but in reality, it takes more like 10 working days...they are held to a higher morality than anyone else so they have to tell you the right thing to do not the obvious thing to do as they do not want to have anything come back to them that could jeopardize their status... Robert Lagas but he can always depart Thailand go to Guam [closest US Territory] pay the expedited fee for a passport get it in 24-48 hours and come back to Thailand...

To avoid overstay after 23 Aug, ask the Consulate for the Emergency Travel Document and use that to get a Visa Exempt stamp or new Tourist Visa. I do not think they can give you a new passport that quick.

Where did you get that information

@Jeremy *******

? He is allowed to stay in Thailandt till 23 Aug according the stamp he showed. He is not on Overstay and the best way to get a new passport is your Consulate or Embassy.

the Embassy will be of no help at all, best case scenario don't tell them your visa and overstay situation....because all they will say is you're screwed and you need to turn yourself into the immigration office for processing

Brian and if you are really, really tight, fly to Hong Kong- you can fly reasonably cheap direct from CNX and they don't stamp your passport at all. But I imagine you have space on other pages for four stamps somewhere.

@Br***

I would look through your passport and see if you have any room at all on other pages. That page on the left, for example, definitely has room for at least one entry/exit stamp, on the top left.

If you do, and I imagine you do, I would then do a border run to Mae Sai/Tachileik. I have in the past got both the Burmese and Thai immigration there to REALLY squeeze stamps into corners of pages, where even some of the stamp was off the page.

Point is- you should be able to do a border run to a country that does not need to affix a full page visa, as long as you can squeeze in four stamps (exit Thailand, enter Myanmar, exit Myanmar, enter Thailand) somewhere.

This is presuming you haven't done two border runs already this year.

This passport only has 17 usable pages :-(

theres your problem you either have the old Passport or you were cheap and did not pay the extra money to get the 52 page passport...pay the extra money to get the 52 pages next time

You are wrong they still have the services at a nominal fee...

There is a big back log on passports because people now need them to go to Canada. People are now renew the ones they got 10 years ago when the law changed

No you can't get it in that time it takes almost 1-2 weeks in the states

@Lloyd *******

is correct, this was stopped in January 2016.

I think they stopped that a few years ago.
