Consular staff will be available to provide services on:

Thursday, December 20, 2012 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon at the:

Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort

The following consular services will be available during our outreach visits:

• Passport renewal applications ($110.00 or Baht 3,520 for adult passports, and $105 or Baht 3,360 for a child’s passport).
  
• Notarial Services and Certified Copies ($50.00 or Baht 1,600). This includes income affidavits for retirees in Thailand.
  
• Extra visa pages ($82 or Baht 2,624). Note: we can accept applications, but the passports will have to be brought back to the Embassy for final processing the next working day. We will bring prepaid Thailand Post envelopes on outreaches that you can buy from us at cost (Baht 75) if you wish us have us mail your passport back to you. Alternatively, you can pick up your passport at the Embassy. You can also have a friend pick up your passport at the Embassy by giving them written authorization to present to us.
  
• Social security, VA, or other federal benefits questions will be limited, but we will try to provide forms and answers.

Auto "correct" changed my title from USA to Usa... Brilliant.

I love how extra pages almost costs as much as a new passport.

Especially when extra pages used to be free.

Thanks for the info, Jimi007.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get a renewed passport mailed back to you in the pre-paid envelope? Or is it just for extra pages? It would also be helpful to know how long it will take.

Thanks.

Try U.S.A or U.S.

USA isn't a word in any dictionary

Yes you can get your renewed passport returned by pre paid EMS mail now. But you must surrender your current passport when you apply. I renewed mine before this service was available and I had the Consulate bring my renewed passport on their next visit. They canceled my old passport then and handed me my new one.

No, Just the forum software only allows capitals in the firstsword. U.S.A. might work ?

//edit - just tried that. still the same. Oh well
