Replacing a passport due to loss or theft is obviously necessary when traveling but what about just a normal renewal process? For many the only time they will ever need to visit their consulate or embassy abroad would be if they have lost their passport or had it stolen. But for those that plan on traveling for several months or longer, or just plan on living abroad indefinitely renewing a passport is actually almost as easy as just doing it in your home country. There are a few differences, things to remember and make note of and in this episode I go over a typical passport renewal for anyone who finds themself in need of getting this done away from their home country.
Sometimes it's too early to renew your passport before you leave home because either it's expiry date is too far off, or you are running out of available pages for visas and stamps. In these two instances you most likely will not be allowed to renew your passport before you either are close to your expiry date, 6 months or less, or you are down to your last 2 pages. I hope this episode helps you be prepared and just as importantly puts you at ease about taking care of this while you're traveling.
