Here's the situation guys.
My USA passport expires in mid-January 2012.
I arrived in Cambodia a few days ago and have a 30 day business visa which can easily be extended for the extra 3 months I need.
I also have a Thai retirement visa with a re-entry permit.
It seems I'll need to get a new passport so that when I re-enter Thailand I'll have a passport with more than 6 months validity. I assume that it's not a problem that my retirement visa and re-entry permit will be in my old passport?
Now, I am wondering how long it takes to get a new passport issued and should I apply for the new passport ASAP and then the Cambodian 3 month extension or should I get the extension first and then apply for a new passport?
