My passport expires next year and I want to renew it while Im here?
People who find themselves in a foreign country when their passport is about to expire normally get a new one at their homelands embassy or consulate in the country where they happen to be. If their homeland doesnt have a embassy in that country, they can do it in a nearest other country where ther is an embassy. Over the past 30 years of living in NYC, I have renewed my passport several times in New York. In the early 1990s, my homeland did not have a consulate in NYC, so I traveled to Washington, DC, to the embassy. Last time, I had actually done it when I was on vacation back home.
