|
|
Well, I am down to just a few passport pages with 3 years left on my passport. I intend to travel a bit, so I need to add pages. It is a bit expensive, but what can you do.
Anyway, when you add pages, do they just simply add them to the ones already there or replace your old pages? I ask because of visas in my current pages... basically, are pages added to old ones or do they replace the old ones?
I don't want to send my passport through the mail, but don't have a choice. Because of this, I need an international money order. Where do I get one of these?
Cheers! |

Yes it is expensive. It used to be free, but now they charge like 80 US dollars. The nice thing is now you can wait while they do it at the embassy. Just pop by the US Embassy. They will only do it 3 times before you have to get a new passport. |

They add them in the middle of your passport. |

The next time you RENEW your passport, you can get extra pages free by writing a letter saying why you need more pages. I hear the number of visa stamps you have will determine how many more pages you get. |

$90???? Last time I got my passport replaced (stolen) I paid $99! How much does a new passport cost, if additional pages are that much? Damn bankers. |

did you go in person or did you mail your passport? As I am far away from Seoul, I have no choice but to ship. As a result, I am a bit nervous... I don't want to send my passport through the mail.
I only have like 6 pages left, and will be using a lot of pages soon. |

No letter is required and I doubt they look at your previous passport. You just need to check the box on the form for extra pages. That's what I did last September. |

6 pages left? That's plenty of space! Or are you planning to get a few visas? If you're just going places that you'll get stamps, you should be fine. |

true... but once I leave Korea I am making a Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia-Thailand trip, and I don't know if i will be hard to visit a U.S. embassy. Also, after traveling around Asia, I will travel in Brazil (need visa) and Argentina after Europe. |

i mailed it... they require you to use a courier service i believe. it was cheap and easy. all the info should be on the us embassy website. |
