I am running out of pages in my passport and I just entered Thailand on a 60 day TR Visa with a U.S. passport. I spoke with the US embassy and they told me it takes 4-6 weeks to send away for a new passport (I’m assuming it has to be mailed to the US).
My question is I want to get the 30 day extension now (which will give me 90 days total) and then send that passport immediately back to the US to get the new passport. Will that cause any issues? Because I’m assuming I will get the old passport back from the US with a hole stamped through it.
Has anyone sent their current passport away? Are there any pitfalls?
