Thai Passport Question

[AmericanSoldier 0]

Hello all,

Just as simple question. Maybe someone on here knows.

Can my wife renew her thai passport early in the United States, as opposed to doing it upon expiration.

I would like to get this knocked out state side as opposed to waiting for it to expire and doing it when I get stationed in Germany.

We are going to do it there at the Embassy in person on my leave. I dont want to mail it and risk it getting lost.

Tried contacting the Thai Embassy in Washington D.C. by email. No follow up from them and I dont get an answer on the phone.

I will keep trying.

For anyone that has had experience with this as well.....what documents do we need to bring with us to the Embassy to get the renewal done.

I am tracking a copy of her Thai househod registration or Thai Identification card, a $50 fee, and her current passport.

Thanks ahead of time for any inputs.

You should be able to. In fact, international flights won't allow her to board unless her passport is good for a certain number of months (6 typically).

You might try talking to one of their Honorary Consular Officers if you haven't gotten a response from DC. I know they can't renew her passport, but they may have information and advice. I know the one my son dealt with in Denver was super nice and informative.
