  1. Update- just received my renewed US passport. Thanks to all the good advice received here- 4 weeks including mailing. And a special thanks to American Citizen Services (ACS) at the U.S. Embassy Bangkok. Job well done!
  2. No longer an option unfortunately. I wasn’t close to the expiration date but not enough room for scheduled entries and my annual Thailand retirement visa.
  3. Thank you to all who replied, I appreciate it. Feel a lot better now. Let’s see what happens ????
  4. I’m out of pages in my U.S. Passport. The US Embassy in Thailand claims 5-6 week for a new passport. I verified this with them. The US Embassy website says 10-13 weeks. That’s over 2x! Who’s right? Anybody recently renewed their U.S. passport via mail in Bangkok? How long did it take? TIA!
  5. From Richard Barrow’s “Letters from Thailand…” “For a start, it doesn’t seem to be written down anywhere that you need to have special insurance to cover you for the time you will be in Thailand if you are on a long-term visa. It was just implied by some embassies. I asked the director general about this, and he said a 30-day policy would be plenty. After all, if you test positive, you will only need to do 10 days in a hospital and a possible 14 day quarantine afterwards. So, a 30-day policy would cover you.” getrevue.co If I go for 30 day coverage I sure hope the Director General checks my form!
  6. “There is currently no requirement for anyone on a Non Immigrant O extension to have health insurance - apart from if they wish to re-enter Thailand, which is a requirement for all foreigners, regardless of their visa status.” If you are in Thailand on a Retirement O Visa and want to leave the country you need to get a Re-entry Permit before leaving in order to get back in under your visa rather than as a tourist. If you are re-enter under this scenario do you still need a Thailand Pass and the associated health insurance? I’m waiting to book a trip in 2022 and have no idea. At my age and a diabetic health insurance isn’t available. Maybe it’s time to make the Panama Retirement Pensionado…
  7. Thanks for all the responses- appreciate it. Looks like it works for some and not others. May be dependent on the local immigration office. I use Chrome and have followed all the online instructions. It worked last year. Oh well, time for a trip to see all my friends in immigration.
  8. Is the Notification of Staying in the Kingdom Over 90 Days Online working? So far this year I’m 0 for 3. After I input the first page of my information I get a blank screen or error message- “For further information regarding The 90-day Notification Report Service, please contact the Immigration Branch Office in your residence area.” is this working for anyone else? TIA!
