How long does it take to get a new US passport at the consulate in Thailand?

I applied last month. Received 2 weeks later.

Just renew..2 weeks I heard..

You may not need it... the new automated system at BKK Immigrations does NOT stamp the passport, it just scans passport and takes facial pic. If you only travel Thailand, you may be ok.

Can you no longer get extra pages attached to your U.S. passport? I did that once at the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok about 17 years or so ago. If you do go with a new passport, you can normally have your Thai visa & extensions transferred from your old one to the new one. I did this in Udon Thani eons ago.

Gi to Phnom Penh....Quick appointment and a 10 day turnaround. Plus get the big 50 page book

You can apply online for a new passport. Just started recently. Go to travel.state.gov

My took 12 days from submitting via express mail.

Oh, and of course a photo!

It's been six years now but all I did was follow their instructions and mailed it to the US embassy with all the pre-paid return envelops. I think it took about three weeks.

I'm just about to do the same with my Irish passport,application on line but when passport still has a few years left on it ,it has to be returned,but I go to Irish consulate for them to see the passport and can retain it active in Thailand while new application goes ahead,then I pick up new one after approximately 4 weeks and in receipt of it from consulate the old one is redundant and new one active ,but I keep together as entrance stamps in old one ,I would imagine the US embassy has similar policy but email your embassy for confirmation 🙏🏽

It's all done by mail now, you don't go to the embassy.



Recent reports are that it takes about 3-4 weeks.
