NomadicGuru Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Hi, I need to add pages to my US Passport within the next week. I am in Phuket and the service is offered at the US Embassy in BKK and the Consulate in Chiang Mai. The Embassy website states that agents are allowed to go to the Embassy or Consulate to do this. Can anyone refer me to an agency/service that does this in either Bangkok or Chiang Mai? I prefer not to travel to Bangkok just for this.
Shot Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 If you find one today, and you FedEx or EMS it to them, they would not have it until Wednesday (slight possibility of tomorrow, if you sent it in the next hour, but doubtful). They take it to the Embassy on Wednesday, and send it back. You might get it on Thursday (doubtful though), more than likely Friday, and that’s if everything goes like clockwork. Consider the cost of the agent and delivery service. Then think about all the stress of having your passport somewhere between here and there, when you need it within the week. Do yourself a favor and do it yourself. You can do the whole deal in one day, and still have time for a cold one when you get home.
Jimi007 Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 You should have done it when the US Consulate Outreach was here in Phuket on March 14th. You should sign up for STEP and get the emails from the embassy. https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs/ui/ They would have mailed it back to you by EMS mail service. They come every three months. But now I think you're stuck going to BKK yourself, unless you know someone in Bangkok who will do it for you.
