    Attention AMERICANS LIVING OVERSEAS

    Attention: All Americans living OVERSEAS:

    according to info you will NO longer be allowed to get extra pages added to your passport AFTER Dec 31st 2015>

    All new passports issued over seas will be 52 pages ( still only $110) AND
    when u apply for a new passport you can request additional pages be added at the same time so 80 pages for $110

    So its a good idea to get a new passport this year or have pages added this year ( although as new pages cost $82 and a new 52 page passport with additional pages is only $110) doesn't really make sense to do that

    Falling in line with other countries now with no more adding pages.

    Just got a new 52 pager last year so I'm set for a while.

    They don't issue the passports here in LOS but all applications got back to that Police State America and then the ACS calls you up to come pick up your passport. Takes about 2 weeks.

    they stopped issuing via Embassies them when they added the chips.

    If u use the outreach ( as i do in Phuket) they will take the application and than mail it back to you . :-)
    Getting a new one end of month an will ask for an extra set of pages.

    I could find no corroboration for this on the interweb. I would really like to see a link.

    Just curious, does this include all US paasports, even those obtained in the States? I will be making a 3-4 month trip back to the US in July and would be able to obtain new passport there since mine expires in 2016. I believe the price would be a little less as well.

    Nothing on the US Embassy website about this. Curious.

    ^Google "Can you still get extra pages in a US passport?" Scroll down to "service/passports/add pages to your existing passport" - USEmb Manila website.

    All will be revealed.

    Just did some browsing and found these facts.
    - Adult passports cost 110 dollars.
    - You can request additional pages and will receive a passport with 52 pages, 43 which are blank for visas at no additional cost.
    - Currently, you can also add additional visa pages to a valid passport for an additional fee(82 dollars) in 24 page packets.

    This does not match what Phuketrichard has posted.

    When I go back I will apply for a 52 page passport along with a packet of additional pages which should give me a total of 65 visa pages for 192 dollars, if I have done the math correctly.

    Understòd Davis, but that is in December correct? That will give me plenty of time to apply for a new passport when I arrive back in the US in July, no?

    So, what you're saying Richard is for $110 you get a passport with 82 pages for the same price you'd pay for a new passport with only 52 pages?

    As well after Dec. 31, 2015 no more extra pages offered?

    Next question since my present passport expires on 20 May 2019, will I be able to apply for a new retirement visa with less than one year remaining on the passport?

    My normal date for application for Ret. O, Type visa is May 28. therefore I will be shy by 8 calendar days in 2018 for one year rule.

    You need at least one year before passport expires to do 1 year extension to stay.

    Oops. Sorry not Richard.

    No, 110 dollars for a new passport with 52 pages and up to 12/31/15, you can purchase bundles of additional pages (24) for 82 dollars/bundle.

    Hope this clarifies it.

    I just noticed you are directing this question to Phuketrichard and not to me even though my name is Richard as well. Sorry

    Why are you calling yourself Lamphun over on that other channel?

    Thought I was the only one privy to this.

    All good fun.

    Dumb question there Booners. Run along now and collect your 24 page passport for 110 dollars.
