With all the power he has, the world can't completely ignore his jokes though. Taco or not.

State mails BOTH the old and new passports to Thailand at the same time and then BOTH are sent at the same time via the Thai Post courier envelope back to you. Ignore the part of about separate mailings. That's for domestic.

Yes, it's a disgusting situation for pro democracy, pro rule of law, pro constitution, anti embracing foreign dictators decent Americans. It's embarassing and dangerous. He's so incredibly stupid, he acts a traitor regarding Putin, he grifts like there's no tomorrow, and he constantly lies. The recent No Kings protest was the most attended protest event in all of American history. Maybe there is still hope to remove this garbage president before its too late, but it sure won't be easy.

So he runs away hours before Zelinskyy was scheduled to show up. Coincidence? You decide. Sounds very very fishy to me.

Trump DID pay for a cheering crowd at his notorious escaltor descent launching this tragic maga chapter in American history.

Because I want to the the stamp transfer first. It seems crazy to do a TM30 now before then. One step at a time.

Did they demand that as a condition to do the stamp transfer to the new passport or did that demand happen at the next immigration service?

This forum I assume is neutral but Trump and many maga cultists do.

The Russians were NOT impressed. If you're gonna do a dictator parade, at least make an effort!

The most corrupt president in American history and it isn't even close.

These were political assassinations. Of course Trump didn't order them but the toxic anti democracy, anti constitution, anti rule of law environment that the maga fascist movement has fostered certainly helped create this environment where this happened and more of the same can be expected. Remember our crimiminally corrupt grifter president PARDONED all the VIOLENT insurrectionists only because they were acting for him.

Reading between the lines, the end game is to make apps like Bolt charge the same higher fares as "regular" taxis ending actual free market competition. Happy happy joy joy.God forbid that consumers get a break. Am I wrong?

Actual bombing in the middle east while Trump's maga fascist birthday to dear leader parade bombs in a different way. What a thoroughly shambolic presidency.

He's a such a BIG LOSER that he can't even hold an autocratic style parade (his big dream) well. The world is laughing at him. What a total flop. Putin is for the birds but at least his dictator parades are done really well. Trump isn't even qualified to manage a night time car wash.

LA doesn't burn. You've been BRAINWASHED.

Very recent report 35 days total. There are likely seasonal variations

Thanks for the reply. My next 90 day report timing does not overlap. My TM30 as I'm a condo owner is good except if I move. I don't expat these to be mentioned when transferring stamps. Unless there is a report of someone doing similar at Jomtien I guess I need to decide whether to ask them during stamp transfer about the extension or take a chance using my current ones.

Good point. I would transfer stamps first.

My feeling is that my condo does this for free as they want to discourage people who don't know what they're doing from doing it themselves. Perhaps as a safety issue.

Yes you've told that story before and it underlines that we had better take responsibility for knowing the specs ourselves if we're not using an agent. That said, I would expect most high volume photo shops in areas with lots of expats would usually know something as basic as the photo size if saying it's for a U.S. passport. Also experienced staff will tend to understand that a passport photo is more important than a Thai visa photo and will give good attention. If not, go elsewhere! A question that I do have is if the U.S. embassy staff as least screens the photos for obvious rejection flaws BEFORE sending off to the State Department. If not, they really should. If they do, it wouldn't be such a big deal to ask for a new photo to send to Bangkok. Of course if you're in the US doing a passport photo all you need to do is say passport photo and a U.S. passport photo is assumed and they're probably going to know all the specs. But it's a stretch for us to expect that level of knowledge in any other country as each country does have their specific specs.

Will need to do a new retirement extension at Jomtien with a new passport (new passport number). I have a valid TM30 and last address report but they have the old passport number on them. Will it be required to do a new TM30 and address report with the new passport number?

My recent experience was nothing but I was changing a number of them so a good bit of work so I tipped the guy.

Not new but you probably missed it so time to enjoy it now. Victorian comedic fun. I do realize that the terminally literal humorless anti-"woke" obsessives won't like that there's a black lady in this (get over yourselves!).

Pay careful attention to the photo requirements as there are many and quite specific. You need to know so that you can prepare and also oversee the process at the photo place as they will tend to know basic things such as required US size but not necessarily all the details. For example -- background color, no glasses, no big open mouth smiles to be safe don't smile at all, the size of the head in the photo has a range of specs, no shadows, look straight at the camera, and more. No need to dress formally but obviously no wifebeaters. On my first take this time my head was tilted a bit which may or may not have been OK but the photo people didn't know about that rule so got to do a second take with that in mind.

Just did this. 35 days total. Embassy in Bangkok. CM consulate might be different. The trickier part is after the new passport arrived back in Bangkok. The embassy says that Thai Post sends an email with tracking number.when the package is picked up at the embassy. NO they don't. The embassy also doesn't send an email about that. You can get tracking number from the Thai Post site where you bought the envelope. However you'll need to check that everyday until it shows something. Also often you need to search twice as often it shows nothing on first try.
