What should I do if my passport is delayed in returning from the U.S. while I'm in Thailand?
Afternoon. I have question about my passport not returning from the U.S. on time. What are my options?
Answer summary
If you're facing a delay in receiving your passport from the U.S., you have a few options. Some users have successfully received their passports within a few weeks, while others suggest visiting the embassy in Bangkok, where you can obtain a new passport in about two hours. However, if your situation is urgent and you're without your passport, you might consider staying in Thailand and potentially going into overstay while you wait for its arrival.

Without a passport, your option is to go on overstay while waiting for it to arrive.
