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)?

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a new US passport? My retirement visa extension is due in 24 days and I'm worried I won't have a new passport in time.

Question, I’m currently in the US for 3 or 4 months, my Non O extension expires Mar of 26, I’m reading that renewal of extension requires a valid passport with at least 6 months remaining, my passport expires in July 26 which is short of 6 months. My concern is if I renew while in US that with new passport # I will not be able to make deposits to my Thai bank account.

My US passport book is filled, I only have 2 pages left, though it doesn’t expire for another 5 years. I made an appointment at the embassy in bkk to get it renewed with a 52 page. Which form do I print and take to the embassy, DS 82 or DS 11 .. im getting conflicting info online.

Thanks in advance .

Hello - I am needing to renew my passport here in Bangkok. I am reading mixed things online - if I make an in person appointment for the US embassy, how fast is the turnaround to receive the passport? What is the fastest way to do this here? Thanks in advance for any info based on actual experience.

I was just informed by the US Embassy staff that I can transfer my old extension of stay (Non-O Marriage) stamp to my new passport at Suvarnabhumi before my flight. Just want to verify this is correct and how long it takes to do this so I do not miss my flight. Also, has anyone renewed a US passport recently and can share the processing time it took to receive the new one? Thank you!

Can I renew my US passport in Thailand ?

Is there a way to get a an additional 30 day extension on a 30 day exemption upon arrival? My situation is that I have to send my passport out for renewal to US embassy from Thailand, and it will take 6-8 weeks. Currently in Thailand, and my 90 TR visa expires in a few weeks, so was planning to do border run or quick flight to KL and back.

So, American passport just about full, so need a new one. Any insights or words of wisdom from past experience to streamline the process, or just go to embassy in BKK, and follow process? Also, would it be easier to do in Vietnam 🇻🇳?

Hi Thailand Friends - I’m new here and hoping someone can help. I‘m an American traveling on USA passport. I just realized I’m dangerously low on blank passport pages (down to 3) and have travel plans in the next 6 months that will fill those pages completely.

I know that I need to apply for a passport renewal and that I can do this at Bangkok USA Embassy, but my question is about timeline (how long it takes) steps to the process, can I still travel while I’m waiting, etc.

I’ve reached out via email and phone to Embassy trying to find the specifics and have had zero luck. Thinking someone here might’ve been through this and can help?

Thank you 🙏🏽🇹🇭🇺🇸❤️
