Did my yearly extension in Udon Thani today. i have a fillable TM7 form I have been using. The IO told me the form has been changed slightly. She filled out a new form for me and gave me a blank copy. Does anyone know if there is a fillable form available on line? I will attach a copy of the form she gave me today. I tried to create a fillable form myself but have not succeeded. NEW TM7 FRONT.doc NEW TM7 BACK.docx

Received my new US passport today. Took 2 days short of 6 weeks from the time they received my package.

I read a post saying the US Embassy no longer accepts self addressed/self stamped return envelopes for Passport Renewal. Can anyone verify this? I don't see anything about this on their website.

Has anyone flown on Austrian Air recently. My wife and I are looking at some flights but we are seeing a lot of negative reviews. Most of the reviews concern customer service problems. Not much said about the flights themselves. Thanks for your input

I am leaving Thailand for a couple of months. When I return I will apply for a new passport at the US embassy. 1. I will be in Bangkok with some visiting family and thought I would just go to the embassy and apply while we are there. I understand I need to make an appointment. 2. If I do this will they allow me to keep my old passport while traveling around Thailand with my family? 3. Is the processing time 4 to 5 weeks for the new passport? 4. I was told I would have to send the old passport to the Embassy once I receive my new passport. I assume I can keep it long enough to have all visa stamps etc. moved to my new passport at the immigration office. Thanks for the help.
