nong38 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I got my passport 3 years ago, but after a few visits to Cambodia for the visa runs and having a page taken up with their visa I am not going to make the 10 years to the renewal date! I have a UK passport and have looked on the GOV website but can find nothing about purchasing extra pages. Has anyone any experience of this and help, I would appreciate it, even if the answer is to re apply for a new passport with extra pages in it.

nong38 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 It never occured to me 3 years ago that visa 's stamps etc would take up so many pages, now I know! Thanks for the imformation its what I thought it was likely to be, new passport with the extra pages at the same time on renewal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must mean that you are doing a monthly visa run? My advice would be to consult a lawyer and see if they can suggest a different visa option for you. If you have been here for 3 years, you must be working? If not someone who can stay here for 3 years and not work must have some money behind them? There must be a better visa option for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 You cannot add pages to a British passport. I am British and I always fill up my passport before the 10 years is up. When it is approaching full, renew the passport with a 'jumbo' 48-page (really 42-page) one. If an employer can give you a letter saying you are a frequent business traveller, you can get 2 passports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utalkin2me Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) The only nation I know that offer extra pages to be added to an existing passport is USA. For 82 <deleted> dollars, yes, they'll add em. I would too at that price. It used to be free - inflation I guess Edited May 6, 2013 by utalkin2me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 The 48 page passport is around 130 quid now, you,ll need to apply to hong kong if staying here, or get one next time you go back to uk. Plenty of threads on hong kong application etc on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler1973 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Why would you add pages instead of just renewing? It needs renewing Seems like all passport renewals require you couriering your passport back home to Liverpool now rather than consultates doing it Changed in UAE and Middle East, not sure about Asia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trembly Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 And for future reference, it'll probably be much cheaper to get professional advice on your visa arrangements than it will be to go through passports at this rate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
