Looking for recent experience -- we were just unable to renew my husband's visa because he only had one passport page left (US passport), and apparently that page is reserved for "special endoremsements." The US consulate's website says (in many places) that they will not add pages and the only solution is to renew his passport by sending it to the embassy in Bangkok, which takes 4-6 weeks. His visa expires in 2.5 weeks. Has anyone successfully gotten an emergency passport or extra pages added in this situation (recently)?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on renewing their husband's US passport to facilitate a Thai visa extension due to limited space in the passport. Several commenters confirm that adding pages is no longer an option and that an emergency passport typically requires travel and is not likely to be granted for visa expiration issues. Some users share their recent experiences with passport renewal processes at the embassy, suggesting it's possible to obtain a passport quickly if applied in person, while highlighting the risk of overstaying the visa.
